There’s joy in the homeland, there’s plenty and peace

July 21

There’s joy in the homeland, there’s plenty and peace,
A welcome for souls gone astray;
Glad songs over sinners returning ne’er cease,-
Tell some one the story today.

The sinful and weary find pardon and rest,
The lame may be healed in the way;
Believing in Jesus, each soul may be blest;-
Tell some one the story today.

For love like the Master’s, for wisdom to win,
For patience and tenderness pray;
And, weeping, go forth to the highways of sin;-
Tell some one the story today.

The last great commandment of Jesus your King,
Be earnest and swift to obey;
To help the good Shepherd His “other sheep” bring,
Tell some one the story today.

Chorus
Tell some one the story today,
Tell some one, tell some one;
Tell some one the story, ‘twill add to His glory;
Tell some one the story today.
