"God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us (Selah); that Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations" (Psalm 67:1,2). "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:7,8).
God has been so merciful
And caused His face to shine:
He tasted death for every soul;
Yes, even yours and mine!
He lavished on us heaven's wealth,
So rich in His salvation,
And sent His news of saving health
To every tribe and nation.
He sent His Spirit from above
To give us His instruction,
To woo the world with His love,
And warn of wrath's destruction.
He clothes us with His righteousness,
Since we ourselves have none,
When we receive Him and confess
Our trust in God the Son.
O Lord, commission us again!
It is expedient
That we should preach Your Word to men
And call them to repent!
