A light that we heed
As it shines in a dark place.
For before it was a little flock
At present a nation so great.
From her humble beginning
To the grandeur of her stature
From the peak of mockery
Now has reached the point of exaltation.
Once called the worm Jacob
Diminutive compared to others
Facing the giant north and south
What fate awaits to these little ones?
"Fear not" says the Owner
And He pronounced promises so great.
He upholds them with His rigtheous hand
And He reminded, "I am your God".
It was the word of prophecy
And it never came by the will of man.
Indeed, it has come to fulfillment
For it was a living promise.
Counting more years to come
And we see it with great delight
The manifestation of a powerful hand
And not just a work of man.
To the giant enemies He said:
"Do not keep them back"
For it is the work of God
Who then could possibly hold back?
Now, gathered from different places
Ninety-six countries and territories
The little flock as it was
Has been globally expanded so fast
They never grow weak eventhough they stumble
Hope never lose, unto them is a promise.
To them whom He has chosen from the ends of the earth
"Salvation shall not linger",the prophecy declared.
For this reason we sing hymns of praise
As the brethren all over the world in one aim
To offer Him praises of gratitude
On this day of holy gathering.
