Ours is a fellowship in the gospel (Hymn 1295)

Verse 1: Ours is a fellowship in the gospel Since we received the Lord; We're for the furtherance of the gospel, Spreading to all His Word. For its defense and strong confirmation We all partake of grace— He who began this work will perfect it Till we shall see His face. Verse 2: May all the things that come to us daily Unto the gospel turn, That all may see we're bound for the gospel And of the Lord may learn. May we be bold and fearless in spirit, Speaking the Word of God, Do it in love and do it in power, While living in the Lord. Verse 3: Lord, we're expecting that we'll be given Boldness with every breath. Christ must be magnified in our body Whether by life or death. We hope in nothing to be ashamed, For us to live is Christ— He is the Person in all our living, Our everything, our life. Verse 4: May all our lives be worthy the gospel Whatever may betide, All standing fast in oneness of spirit, All striving side by side. Let us proclaim the gospel in fullness To satisfy the Lord: Christ is the life, the church His expression, Sound everywhere abroad.
