[Verse 1]
F#m F# F#m
O Zion, haste that mission high fulfilling,
A C#
to tell to all the world that God is light;
F#m F# B F#m
that he who made all nations in mercy never willing
F#m C# F#m
one soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

[Verse 2]
F#m B F#m
Behold how many thousands still are lying,
A C#7
bound in the darksome prison-house of sin,
F#m F# B F#m
with none to tell them how the Savior purchased them by dying,
F#m C# F#m
or how through faith in Christ, that they may live.

[Chorus]
A C#m C#
Publish glad tidings, oh down to earth is peace;
F#m D
Oh speak to all of Jesus, redemption and release.
A C# C#m
Oh no do not hide this water from those who die of thirst
D
but keep sted with His own Spirit,
Bm A C# F#m
with all dignity and honor speak his word, his word, speak his word

[Verse 3]
F#m B F#m
Proclaim to ev’ry people, tongue, and nation
A C#
that God, in whom they live and move, is love:
F#m A B F#m
tell how he stooped to save his lost but looted, dear creation,
F#m C# F#m
and died on earth that we might live above.

[Chorus]
A C#m C#
Publish glad tidings, oh down to earth is peace;

Oh speak to all of Jesus, redemption and release.
A C# C#m
Oh no do not hide this water from those who die of thirst

with all dignity and honor speak his word, his word, speak his word

[Verse 4]
F#m B F#m
Your children, sent to bear the message glorious;
F#m A C#
give of your wealth to speed them on their way;
F#m F# B F#m
pour out your soul for them in, to him who reigns victorious;
F#m F# C# F#m
O Zion haste bring the bright of day
