John Came Preaching, Bearing Witness
REGENT SQUARE 8.7.8.7.8.7 (“Angels, from the Realms of Glory”)
John came preaching, bearing witness,
Pointing to God's only Son.
He proclaimed the truth with boldness:
"Now believe! God's light has come!"
Yet he would not be the focus;
He proclaimed a greater One.
Thank you, God, for all your servants
Who proclaim your light each day.
Brave and bold, like John, they bless us,
Pointing us to Jesus' way.
They proclaim your kingdom's nearness
In the things they do and say.
May we live in that tradition;
Fill us with integrity. Take away our vain ambition; Keep us in humility. Make us faithful in our mission As we serve Christ joyfully.
