622. God’s word to God’s world! In one name alone

Author: Christopher Idle

God’s word to God’s world! in one name alone
the truth must be told, the Saviour made known;
since Jesus has suffered and died for our sin,
God’s kingdom is offered for all to come in.

2. Since God first loved us, we grow by his love;
the word of the cross shows mountains can move:
it links every nation, it leads to one song;
in Christ our salvation the weak are made strong.

3. Encircling the earth by prayer and in praise
we witness new birth, new hope and new ways;
where churches are sowing the seed of God’s word
his kingdom is growing, his harvest assured.

4. One Father of light, one Saviour for all,
one Spirit, ignite your church by your call;
in faith and repentance our hearts are your throne;
your word makes the entrance, your love is the crown.
