"Moses… heard the voice of One speaking unto him from off the mercy seat" (Numbers 7:89). "Come and see the works of God… Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul" (Psalm 66:5,16). "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction… A virtuous woman… openeth her mouth with wisdom" (Proverbs 31:8,10,26). "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you… that your joy may be full" (1 John 1:3,4).
When
Moses listened to the Savior
From
where the mercy seat was placed,
His
mouth declared the loving favor
That
tabernacle shadows traced.
Yet
now we hear our Savior say
To
take His Word to every nation
And
bid them come and see today
The
works of God in His salvation.
Let
every mouth of mercy warn
Of
the destruction yet that looms
For
those who are content to scorn
Until
they enter hopeless tombs.
We
thank You, Lord, that by Your Word
Our
mouth may thus be merciful,
Declaring
what we've seen and heard
With
joy to every precious soul.
