A Witness to All Nations

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
’Tis Jehovah’s final message, ’Tis the Saviour’s closing word; By “this gospel of the kingdom” Shall the hearts of men be stirred; E’en the “winds are held” by angels, And the plagues of wrath are stored, While the witnesses for Jesus Preach the coming of the Lord.
’Tis the time of preparation For earth’s universal war; But through weary leagues of distance, And o’er deserts wild and far, Go the heralds of the kingdom, And their work is not in vain, Telling how, in clouds of heaven, Will the Saviour come again;
Telling of the love of Jesus To the souls who’ve never heard; To the nations in the darkness Carrying God’s holy Word, Till from distant, darkened stations Comes the cry, “The work is done.” Truth has reached unto all nations, And the Saviour now will come.
Faithful heralds of the kingdom, Leaving far the joys of home,— With delight will Jesus bring them To the city soon to come. They have given all for Jesus, They have deemed earth’s joy but loss; Crowns of gladness will be given To the heralds of the cross.
