Proclaimers of the Faith 1963 - 1965

Let the heavens and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moveth therein.
Let the floods clap their hands,
Let the hills be joyful together.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming
With a loud voice, saying:
"Who is worthy to open the Book
And to lose the souls thereof?"
"Behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
He is worthy to open the Book for He was slain
And hast redeemed us to God by His Blood
Out of every kindred and tongue and nation."

This we proclaim! This we proclaim!

Despised, rejected by a thoughtless race
Who worship chance and mock prevenient grace.
We dare proclaim His all redeeming love,
We dare to set our hearts on things above.
We'll face the world and share His Cross and shame
Proclaiming liberty by faith in Jesus' name.

(CHORUS)
Proclaimers for Jesus, we'll tell of His might.
For we'll be witnesses for Jesus!
Proclaimers for Jesus, we'll join in the fight.
Flags and timbrels, Word and Power -
All to magnify this hour
For we'll be witnesses for Jesus!

We own no right to stand before Thy Throne.
We have been slow to make Thy praises known
Touch Thou our lips and set our hearts aglow.
Fit and prepare us to the world to go.
The very stones would fain proclaim Thy praise
All nature joins to laud Thy mighty ways.
We lift our hearts and rise from bended knee
Fixed and secure, our confidence in Thee.

Who then will join us and declare their faith,
Witness to all His unexampled grace?
Prompted by love, upheld by fervent prayer
The world will heed us, midst its dark despair
He reaches oi1t to minds beset by fear,
He condescends man's fragilities to share.
He clears confusion and puts wrong to flight.
Ours is the weakness, His the Power and might!
Our muted tones give place to trumpet voice ·
Once we were silent, now our hearts rejoice!
PROCLAIMERS OF THE FAITH' are we!
