"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:5,6). "Deliver them that are drawn unto death" (Proverbs 24:11). "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" (Luke 15:10).
Our
tears precede our shouts of joy
When
we in time shall surely reap.
Behold
those Satan would destroy;
Go
forth with seed and for them weep!
The
laborers are very few;
The
need eternally is great.
The
Lord is calling us to do
A
work of love that cannot wait.
We
labor at the Throne of Grace
As
we draw near in earnest prayer
To
call on God, to seek His face,
And
find His grace to help us there.
We
take the Gospel with compassion
To
sinners who to death are drawn
By
every means in any fashion
Before
repentance time is gone.
The
Lord has shown us that above
The
angels joy in the event
A
sinner finds the Savior's love
And
thereby truly will repent.
We
thank You, Lord, that heaven's court
Partakes
with joy and celebration
When
there has been the glad report
That
one has entered Your salvation!
Lord,
send us forth in this endeavor
To
show the lost they have a choice
To
now repent and know forever
The
truest reason to rejoice!
