We have this ministry

We have this ministry:

To teach and propagate

To fight with Satan and contend

Build up

and cultivate.

Empowered in God’s grace

Commit all things we’ve learned

To faithful men

that they may then

Impart the healthy word.

We as good soldiers true

Entangle not ourselves

That we may please the One who has

Enlisted us to serve.

Though all the race may run

But one receives the prize;

That we’d receive the crown of life

Control we exercise.

Some plant

some watering

As farmers

cultivate;

Through patient labor we’ll partake

And fruit abundant yield.

As workmen unashamed

Present ourselves approved;

Restore all men unto the truth;

Cut straight the holy word.

Teachers and soldiers we;

Contenders

farmers too;

In grace we’re cutting straight the truth;

In many ways we serve.
