375. Behold the messengers of Christ

Behold the messengers of Christ,

Who sow in every place

The unveiled mysteries of God,

The Gospel of His grace.

The things, through mists and shadows dim,

By holy prophets seen,

In the full light of day they saw,

With not a cloud between. »

What Christ, True Man, divinely wrought,

What God in Manhood bore,

They wrote as God inspired in words

That live for evermore.

Although in space and time apart,

One Spirit ruled them all;

And in their sacred pages still

We hear that Spirit's call.

To God, the Blessed Three in One,

Be glory, praise, and might,

Who called us from the shades of death

To His own glorious light.
