Preservation for the Proclamation

"The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge.... Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth: that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:12,20,21). "And He commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is He which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins" (Acts 10:42,43).

The eyes of the Lord watch over His Word,
Ensuring its pure preservation.
Thus it is written, thereby we have heard,
And preach therefore His proclamation.

For God has commanded His people to preach
The same Word that brought us salvation.
The prophets all witness, and so we will teach,
His Gospel among every nation.
