Song 47
Declare the Good News
1. The fullness of the Kingdom truth was long concealed.
The truth about the promised Seed is now revealed.
Jehovah in his mercy and his love of right
Considered man’s condition in his sinful plight.
He formed his purpose that his Son should rule the earth;
In God’s due time the Kingdom rule would be brought to birth.
And that he might arrange to bring his Son a bride,
A little flock of chosen ones is glorified.
2. The good news that we now declare was long foreknown.
Jehovah wills that in this time it shall be shown.
Along with us, his angels take delight to share,
To aid us as the Kingdom truth we now declare.
We have the duty and the honor in these days
To sanctify his name and give him his rightful praise.
We’re honored as his Witnesses that name to bear
With everlasting good news that we now declare.
