The
lovingkindness of the Lord
Is
set before our open eyes. What peace His Gospel will afford
With counsel that will make us wise!
We
join the happy blood-bought ranks
Of
sinners who have been redeemed To publish with our voice our thanks
For riches greater than we dreamed!
We
tell the wondrous works of God
Who
saved our souls from condemnation. He spared us from His judgment rod
Which fell on Christ for our salvation!
We
publish peace by God’s instruction
With
wisdom for the latter end, Yet souls are plundered by seduction
Which spurn the peace that God would send!
Behold
the feet that bring good news
Upon
the mountains which they climb, That publish peace that souls may choose,
Yet ONLY if they choose in time!
We
cannot guarantee tomorrow,
Yet
peace is offered NOW TODAY. Eternity is filled with sorrow
By those who thought they could delay.
O
Lord, we thank You for Your cross
By
which Your blessings never cease. How great is the eternal loss
Of those who will refuse Your peace!
O
Lord, until we’re called above,
We’ll
take Your truth to those who hear it, To publish peace procured by love,
Revealed by your Holy Spirit!
