"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). "Bow down thine ear.... Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:17-21). "[The shepherds] made known abroad the saying told them concerning this Child.... praising God for all the things that they had seen and heard" (Luke 2:17-20).
Bless us, Oh God, in every season
That we may make known the saying abroad
That Christ Jesus lives, and He is the reason
That we may be saved and forgiven by God.
Excellent sayings in counsels and knowledge
You've given us, Lord, that we may make known
The truth that is hidden from elitists' college,
Yet those who bow down their ear may be shown.
Bless us, Oh Lord, like the shepherds that night
Who carried the message of Christ Jesus' birth,
To shine in the darkness, to show what is right,
To share saving health to the ends of the earth.
