Tell the Nations

During a recent devotion, I was reminded... We have a beautiful story to tell but are we telling it?  Do we share our secret with those around us or pretend that it is such a precious commodity that it must be hoarded and kept to ourselves?

So this song came to mind and the words are so true... We've a story to tell that will turn the darkness to dawn.  Are you telling HIS story?

We've a Story to Tell to the Nations

H. Ernest Nichol, 1862-1928 (CWH attrib to Colin Sterne)

1. We've a story to tell to the nations,

that shall turn their hearts to the right,
a story of truth and mercy,
a story of peace and light,
a story of peace and light.

Refrain:
For the darkness shall turn to the dawning,
and the dawning to noonday bright;
and Christ's great kingdom shall come on earth,
the kingdom of love and light.

2. We've a song to be sung to the nations,
that shall lift their hearts to the Lord,
a song that shall conquer evil
and shatter the spear and sword,
and shatter the spear and sword.
(Refrain)

3. We've a message to give to the nations,
that the Lord who reigneth above
hath sent us his Son to save us,
and show us that God is love,
and show us that God is love.
(Refrain)

4. We've a Savior to show to the nations,
who the path of sorrow hath trod,
that all of the world's great peoples
might come to the truth of God,
might come to the truth of God.
(Refrain)
