816 To Bear Witness for God Is Man’s Duty
I
God is the One who bestows life unto mankind,
and it’s you who receive life from God and must bear witness for Him.
This is your duty which God sends down upon you
and which you ought to do for Him.
God has bestowed all His glory unto you,
God has bestowed all His glory unto you,
He has bestowed unto you the life
that the chosen people, the Israelites, never received.
By rights, you ought to bear witness to Him
and devote to Him your youth and lay down your life.
Whomsoever God bestows His glory unto
shall bear Him witness and give their life for Him.
This has long been predestined by God.
This has long been predestined by God.
II
It’s your good fortune that God bestows His glory,
God bestows His glory upon you,
and your duty is to testify to His glory, testify to His glory.
If you were to believe in God only to gain blessings,
then His work would bear little significance,
and you would not be performing your duty,
not be performing your duty.
God has bestowed all His glory unto you,
God has bestowed all His glory unto you,
He has bestowed unto you the life
that the chosen people, the Israelites, never received.
By rights, you ought to bear witness to Him
and devote to Him your youth and lay down your life.
Whomsoever God bestows His glory unto
shall bear Him witness and give their life for Him.
This has long been predestined by God.
This has long been predestined by God.
