Tell It Out
Words by Frances R. Havergal Music by Ira D. Sankey
"Tell it out among the nations that the Lord is King; Tell it out! Tell it out!"
“Why, Frances, I thought you were upstairs!” “Yes, but I had my prayer-book; and in the Psalms for to-day I read, 'Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King.' I thought, ' What a splendid first line!' and then the words and music came rushing in to me. There! it's all written out."
I found Miss Havergal's tune rather difficult to sing, and therefore arranged the one which is now found in ”Gospel Hymns, ”in” Sacred Songs and Solos,” and in the new Methodist Episcopal hymnal.
