Appointed, named
commissioned into a royal priesthood
a people, a faith
for all time
to proclaim the wonderful triumphs
Christ’s victory, eternal,
over sin, over the judgment of death
We are to be his witnesses
humble children of the light
a people united in ministry
going as he was sent
spreading light
to pierce the darkness
to the ends of the earth
