Faithful Messengers of Foretold Mercy


"O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good… Who remembered us in our low estate… and hath redeemed us from our enemies: for His mercy endureth forever" (Psalm 136:1,23,24).  "A faithful messenger… refresheth the soul… As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country" (Proverbs 25:13,25).  "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing" (Zephaniah 3:17).  "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (Luke 16:31). 

Let faithful messengers rejoice
And thank the Lord, for He is good. 
The Gospel's great prophetic voice
Has made His mercy understood. 

He saw us in our lost condition,
And He redeemed us who were cursed. 
The message of our Lord's commission
Has satisfied the soul's great thirst!

The Lord is in the midst of us,
And He is resting in His love. 
His mercy was victorious
That brought salvation from above!

As faithful messengers of old
Foretold Your mercy that would come,
So by Your Spirit make us bold,
By every means, persuading some.
