TRUTH IN SONG.

Will you send out the gospel of Jesus Christ, In harmony true and strong? Will you send out the message to suffering man, Embodied in sacred song?
Oh, much has been spoken and written and sung, And error has thus been taught! On the wings of song has been carried along A message with error fraught.
The good and the true must be written and sung, Pure words from the Scripture page. The power of the Spirit His message will seal As truth for the present age.
Then write ye and sing in the strength of the King, Inspired by His living touch; And give to the world, with love's banner unfurled, The message ye love so much.
In the power of the Spirit, with fire-touched thoughts, In wondrous rhythm and ring, You can write, when inspired, all your God desired; In the power of His truth, for age and for youth, Your words shall carry along The message of Jesus, the gospel of life, Embodied in sacred song.
