An uplifted gospel have we,
|
|
| 1. | An uplifted gospel have we, |
| | One we're not ashamed to proclaim. |
| | Our gospel's the highest of all, |
| | For it is God's goal and God's aim. |
| | No longer so lowly and poor, |
| | We've found that we're God's holy sons. |
| | No more will we preach as before; |
| | Now each man on earth can be won. |
| 2. | Our Brother's inherited all |
| | God made Him to rule His affairs |
| | Appointed-this office He fills |
| | And shares it with us, His joint-heirs. |
| | Elected before earth was formed, |
| | We've found that we are qualified |
| | To share all His glory and worth. |
| | How could men but for Christ decide? |
| 3. | Yes, we're holy brothers with Christ, |
| | No higher could any man be. |
| | This highest of all gospels is; |
| | This gospel each human must see. |
| | Partakers of this heavenly call, |
| | Could any this gospel reject? |
| | With Christ sitting far above all- |
| | This highest of all gospels yet! |
