Do We Do Well?

"Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household" (2 Kings 7:9).

Do we do well if we hold our peace,
Withholding good tidings today?
Do we do well to slothfully cease
To look on the fields and pray?

Do we do well if we fail to share
The Gospel to all who will hear?
Do we do well if we don't really care
For sinners as judgment draws near?

Now therefore come that we may go tell
The good news that Jesus Christ lives!
We dare not be silent as souls march to hell;
Let's seize every minute God gives!
