Designation of our Declaration


"By the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding... The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him" (Ezra 8:18,23).  "When He [Jesus] was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with Him.  Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee"(Mark 5:18,19). 

How good the hand is of our God
Who gives to us such understanding
That sends us back home or abroad,
According to His wise commanding. 

The hand of our God is for good
On all who are seeking His face.
How clearly is this understood
By all who are saved by His grace!

How greatly His blessings abound
In those who are anxious to tell
The goodness of God they have found
In Christ who has saved them from hell. 

The story in us God will fashion
Regarding our Lord's saving favor
Shall fit us to speak with compassion
To those who are needing our Savior.

O Lord, as we read of that man
Delivered at last from that "Legion,"
We see thus Your wonderful plan
To reach those in Your chosen region.   

Lord, send us wherever You will
According to Your designation,
With wisdom that You will instill,
Declaring Your wondrous salvation!
