Gospel of Gladness

"Philip preached Christ unto them... And there was great joy in that city.... Philip opened His mouth... and preached unto him Jesus.... and He went on his way rejoicing" (Acts 8:5,8,35,39).

The essence of the preaching that surely leads to joy
Is centered in the Person of our Savior Jesus Christ.
All the good news needed, the message we employ,
Is the Gospel of our Savior, for us once sacrificed.

The privilege of preaching, to speak for God above,
Belongs to His ambassadors, the stewards of His Word.
The rivers of our happiness, the ocean of God's love,
Are thrilling souls today by the Gospel they have heard.
