Go tell it, go tell of his glory
Go shout the new story
That the savior is born
Go shout the new story
That the savior is born
This is my story this is my song
Praising my savior all the day long

Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood

Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood
