Good News

Good news! good news of a soul redeemed,

A penitent forgiven!

Good news! good news that another friend

Is on the way to Heaven!

Refrain

Rejoice! rejoice! there's joy today

In the land beyond the river;

Another gem for His diadem,

A star to shine forever.

Good news! good news that another heart

Has learned redemption's story;

Good news! good news that another voice

Will sing His praise in glory.

Refrain

Good news! good news that another life

Will show the power of Jesus,

Will prove the might of the saving grace

Which daily, hourly frees us.

Refrain

Good news! good news that another hand

Will precious seed be sowing,

Another guide to lead straying feet

Where living streams are flowing.
