“The LORD… will beautify the meek with salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory… Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand” (Psalm 149:4-6). “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). “Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called” (Ephesians 4:1).
Behold
the sinners saved by grace,
Now
beautified with God’s salvation,
Who
here assemble in their place
As saints pursuing their vocation!
Let
praises from their mouth ascend,
Who
bear the Spirit’s two-edge sword,
As
they go forth where God shall send
To
do the bidding of their Lord.
The
sword of grace and truth shall call
On
every soul for a decision.
Our
Savior tasted death for all,
Yet
they will perish without vision!
May
God direct us in the path
That
glorifies Him by our walk.
May
souls be thereby saved from wrath
As
we with vision to them talk.
Lord,
let the Gospel in our hand,
The
Spirit’s sword which we now wield,
Fulfill
the vision You command
In
our vocation in Your field.
Receive
the praise that You deserve,
O
Lord, by vision that You give,
In
each vocation where we serve
To
glorify You as we live.
