"O clap yours hands, all ye people, shout unto God with a voice of triumph" (Psalm 47:1). "And He (Jesus) straightly charged him (the healed leper), Say thou nothing to any man.... But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter" (Mark 1:44,45).
Shout with triumphant praise to our God,
Declaring His wondrous salvation!
Publish the matter; yes, spread it abroad,
To all of the ends of creation!
How difficult was that different command
That our Lord charged the leper He healed,
That he should say nothing to any man,
Of his joy that could not be concealed!
