427. We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations 有一故事傳給萬邦
Can you remember any stories you have heard from your parents or grandparents? May be bed-time stories? Surely all of us must have, a few or many. Some of these stories may be funny, amazing or at times, scary. As the children of God, we all have the mission to tell to all nations about our Lord Jesus, who came to this world with love and light. The verses of this hymn tell of how He can help and transform us. The chorus is like believers marching from darkness to light, leading to where our Lord Jesus has prepared for all – the heavenly kingdom.
We’ve a story to tell to the nations,
That shall turn their hearts to the right,
A story of truth and sweetness,
A story of peace and light,
A story of peace and light.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright,
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
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.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright,
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
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.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright,
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
We’ve a Saviour to show to the nations,
Who the path of sorrow has trod,
That all of the world’s great people
Might come to the truth of God,
Might come to the truth of God.
For the darkness shall turn to dawning,
And the dawning to noonday bright,
And Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,
The kingdom of love and light.
