Glad tidings! Glad tidings! What wonderful news! Such news of salvation from above For great men and for little children, too More glorious than brilliant and shining gold Chorus: Glad tidings! Glad tidings! News so wonderful, astonishing, remarkable too Glad tidings! Glad tidings! Such news of salvation, 'tis happiness and joy! Glad tidings! Glad tidings!
