We've a story to tell to the nations, 



That shall turn their hearts to the right, 

 A story of truth and sweetness, 

 A story of peace and light. 



We've a song to be sung to the nations, 

 That shall lift their hearts to the Lord ; 

 A song that shall conquer evil 



And shatter the spear and sword. 



We've a message to give to the nations, 

 That the Lord who reigneth above, 

 Hath sent His Son to save us, 



And show us that God is love. 



We've a Saviour to show to the nations, 

 Who the path of sorrow has trod, 

 That all of the world's great people 

 Might come to the light of God! 



For darkness shall turn to dawning, 



And the dawning to noonday bright, 

 And Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth, 

 The kingdom of love and light. 



COLIN STERNE.
