Can we be contented?
By Edith Hendry
Are we to be contented that the Word of God we know,
That we have found a Savior who will guide us here below.
A Savior who has taught us what is right and what is wrong
Who has shown us by His life, how we may all be strong
As sin resisted strengthens us and other sins repels
And all the doubts and fears we hold, His love and kindness quells
Are we to keep this blessed knowledge all our very own,
Or is it meant to all the world His teaching must be known
The blessings of redemption, the longed for peace of mind.
Are our heritage, when the Word of God, we find
But can we faithfully our debt to Him repay
If we keep all this love ourselves, and never to others say,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
That whosoever believeth on Him, eternal life has won”
Are we to be contented that we alone are blessed
And all the others in the world, have never Christ confessed?
No, our mission is defined for us in words so very plain,
We cannot disregard the truth and all He taught disdain
Go ye into all the world, the gospel word to preach
The promise He gave, the price He paid, this we must teach
We know just what it means, this being saved by grace
But can we be contented, till we spread to every race
The saving grace of Jesus, the acceptance of His Word
NO, we’ll not be contented, till all the world has heard.
