Looking for lyrics for "You Can Tell The World" by Gibson & Camp. Recorded on the album "The Bitter End" by the Chad Mitchell Trio. Thanks!

Hi, Sherman-
I hate to admit it, but I got this off a Simon & Garfunkel album transcription. I think it's the same as the Gibson-Camp recording.

YOU CAN TELL THE WORLD
(B. Gibson & B. Camp)

Well you can tell the world about this
You can tell the nation about that
Tell 'em what the master has done
Tell 'em that the gospel has come
Tell 'em that the big dream's been won
He brought joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy,
Into my heart

Well my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the flames that burn in hell
Yes he did, yes he did
Now my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the children of Israel
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy, joy, joy into my heart

(repeat 1st verse)

Well my Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did
My Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy, joy, joy into my heart

(repeat 1st verse)

Well I don't know but I've been told
Yes he did, yes he did
Streets of heaven are paved with gold
Yes he did, yes he did
Now the Jordan River is chilly and wide
Yes he did, yes he did
I got a home on the other side
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy, joy, joy into my heart

(repeat 1st verse)
JRO ^^

Joe's { Simon and Garfunkel's } version is close to the Mitchell trios version. I have the lyrics at home and I can post them later if no one bets me to it. I know that in the Chorus they use the word "victory" as opposed to "big dream" And the order of the verses is a little different on the Mitchell Trios recording. I'll try to get it to you over the weekend.
