"That Thy way may be known own earth, Thy saving health among all nations" (Psalm 67:2). "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 22:20,21). "All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning Me... Thus it is written... that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations" (Luke 24:44-47).
Thus was it written and also fulfilled:
That Christ would be smitten, rejected and killed,
That He would be buried and rise the third day;
Not one of these tarried with undue delay!
The purpose is shown why these things were foretold:
That we should make known with a confidence bold
That all should repent and receive Christ's salvation;
This Gospel is sent in His name to each nation!
