A gospel priest of the New Testament

A gospel priest of the New Testament

My heav’nly call: “Bring sinners unto God.”

From house to house I seek sons of peace

And overflow the life of God.

Preach the gospel

sinners save

Each to God an off’ring sweet;

Thus all of heaven breaks forth with joy

And my God’s joy is made complete.

How glorious! Such a profession!

Daily I’m renewed

revived!

How marvellous! Such a living!

Bearing new fruit all the time!

A gospel priest of the New Testament

With tireless labor

bringing people nigh

To offer themselves up willingly

God’s heart’s desire to satisfy.

Christ proclaim

and nourish men

Then exhort them

teach

perfect

Till each is offered full-grown in Christ

To God

a living sacrifice.
