The Great Story(to the tune of Go forth and tell (Songs of Fellowship 2, #738))

Oh God, Creator, Lord of space and time,

You have a plan for history sublime.

Throughout Your word you make this plan quite clear,

And its fulfillment rapidly draws near.

You, King of Kings, did awesome means employ

The devil’s works to utterly destroy

And some from every people to redeem

That they may glorify You as supreme.

You sent your Son to for our sins atone;

We’re saved through faith in Christ, and Him alone.

Those who accept Him will in heaven be;

The rest eternal punishment will see.

For now it is our task Your church to plant

In every people where Your own are scant.

The church will be distinct wher’er it’s spread;

Yet still it will be one, with Christ as Head.

At Christ’s return we’ll see You face-to-face

With those from every language, tribe, and race,

As we stand near the throne, before the Lamb

And give You all the glory, great I Am.
