|
|
<p>Behold the messengers of Christ,<br>
|
|
Who bear to every place,<br>
|
|
The unveiled mysteries of God,<br>
|
|
The Gospel of His grace.</p>
|
|
<p>The things through mists and shadows dim<br>
|
|
By holy prophets seen,<br>
|
|
In the full light of day they saw<br>
|
|
With not a cloud between.</p>
|
|
<p>What Christ, true Man, divinely wrought,<br>
|
|
What God in manhood bore,<br>
|
|
They wrote, as God inspired, in words<br>
|
|
That live forevermore.</p>
|
|
<p>Although in space and time apart,<br>
|
|
One Spirit ruled them all;<br>
|
|
And in their sacred pages still<br>
|
|
We hear that Spirit’s call.</p>
|
|
<p>To God, the blessèd Three in One,<br>
|
|
Be glory, praise, and might,<br>
|
|
Who called us from the shades of death<br>
|
|
To His own glorious light.</p>
