A Constant Witness

"For thou shalt be His witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard"
(Acts 22:15).

Paul was chosen to see and hear the LORD speaking to him out of heaven. This
divine election was a high privilege for himself; but it was not intended to
end with him; it was meant to have an influence upon others, yea, upon all men.
It is to Paul that Europe owes the gospel at this hour. It is ours in our
measure to be witnesses of that which the LORD has revealed to us, and it is at
our peril that we hide the precious revelation. First, we must see and hear, or
we shall have nothing to tell; but when we have done so, we must be eager to
bear our testimony. It must be personal: "Thou shalt be." It must be for
Christ: "Thou shalt be his witness." It must be constant and all absorbing; we
are to be this above all other things and to the exclusion of many other
matters. Our witness must not be to a select few who will cheerfully receive us
but to "all men" -- to all whom we can reach, young or old, rich or poor, good
or bad. We must never be silent like those who are possessed by a dumb spirit;
for the text before us is a command, and a promise, and we must not miss it --
"Thou shalt be his witness." "Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD."

592 8.8.6. W. GADSBY
"Mighty to save." Isa. 63. 1; 19. 20; 43. 11

1 Mighty to save is Christ the Lamb; Let all the saints adore his name,
And make his goodness known;
With one accord proclaim abroad,
The wonders of their Saviour, God,
Whose blood did once atone.

2 Mighty to save! nor all sin's power Can hold the sinner in that hour
When Jesus calls him home;
Nor Moses, with his iron rod,
Can keep the trembling soul from God, When the set time is come.

3 [Mighty to save! he saves from hell; A mighty Saviour suits me well;
A helpless wretch am I;
With sin oppressed, by law condemned, With neither feet nor legs to stand, Nor
wings from wrath to fly.]

4 [Mighty to save! he saves from death; O may I, with my latest breath,
His mighty power proclaim.
Ye sinners lost, and wretched too,
He came to save such worms as you,
And mighty is his name.]

5 [Mighty to save! let Zion sing
The honours of her God and King,
Whose love no change can know.
With cheerful hearts, and cheerful voice, We'll in the mighty God rejoice,
And sing his praise below.]

6 And when the icy hand of death
Shall steal away our mortal breath, Our joy shall still increase;
Yes, with a loud immortal tongue,
We'll sing, and Christ shall be our song, In realms of endless peace.
