“Preach the Word”!

“Preach the Word”!

Song 162

“Preach the Word”!

(2 Timothy 4:2)

1. “Preach the word,” the God of heaven

Has commanded for this day.

Now to us the time is given

That divine charge to obey.

“Preach the word” along with teaching;

Help the meek to understand.

Fear not men, but keep on preaching

On the streets throughout the land.

2. “Preach the word” in ev’ry season,

Always ready to impart

To each one who asks a reason

For the hope within your heart.

“Preach the word,” though opposition

Makes it out of season seem.

Faithful be to your commission;

Trust in God, who is supreme.

3. “Preach the word” in work unceasing.

O how vital that all hear!

Wickedness is fast increasing,

And this system’s end draws near.

“Preach the word” and bring salvation

To yourself and others too.

“Preach the word,” for vindication

Of Jehovah’s name is due.
