78. God’s Kingdom Is at Hand

1 Commissioned by the Lord are we,
The glorious news to tell,
Of God’s salvation full and free,
Which saves from sin and hell;
Upon His business here intent,
We haste at His command,
Proclaiming ev’rywhere “repent,
God’s kingdom is at hand.”

Refrain:
We’ll tell it out,
“God’s kingdom is at hand;”
With trumpet shout,
“God’s kingdom is at hand,”
Ambassadors for Him we go,
All up and down the land,
Still crying ev’rywhere “repent,
God’s kingdom is at hand.”

2 Why will you longer jeopardize
Your never dying soul,
When Jesus paid your ransom price,
And waits to make you whole?
It is the Lord from heav’n who speaks,
In thunder tones today,
And bids you now salvation seek
And turn from sin away. [Refrain]

3 With just a few more fleeting days,
And life’s work will be done,
Eternity draws on apace,
Your race is almost run;
The final consummation nears,
When time shall be no more,
We soon the warning cry shall near,
The Judge is at the door. [Refrain]
