Giving The Gospel - 1 Thessalonians Series (2)

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

1 Thessalonians 2 v.8-13 part

*********

Share affectionately

The gospel, so it be

Imparted to those who it need

And so on Christ shall feed

 

With labour and travail

And with grace do not fail

To share the gospel, teach and preach

That each soul it shall reach

 

Living holy, devout

So then there be no doubt

Of a true witness, and justly

Live, unblameable be

 

Exhort, comfort, and charge

And reap a harvest large

Of souls, to join Christ's family

That each salvation see

 

It is not words only

Of men's* fraternity (* mankind's)

But the gospel it is e'er true

The word of God anew
