Greeting

1 We come with joy the truth to teach you,
To sow the seed in ev'ry heart;
We hope the evidence may reach you,
That from all error you may part.
Receive ye the word,
As taught by the Lord
Who came to the world to save you;
The one blessed way,
Which, if we obey,
Will lead us to His throne.

2 We hope in ev'ry land God lightens,
True, honest-hearted souls to find;
With such, the hope in Jesus brightens,
No tale of evil clouds their mind.
The gospel is sent;
Be faithful, repent;
Baptized, and the Lord will save you;
God's own blessed plan
Revealed unto man,
To lead him to His throne.

3 Such principles as these we cherish,
The laying on of hands with the rest;
For not one single word shall perish
From the law designed to make men blest,
For even the dead,
Our Master has said,
Shall rise by the pow'r that saves us,
To meet us again,
In the gathering, when
We stand before His throne.
