An echo resounds through the hallways of time –
Tis the voice of our Savior and Lord:
‘Reach the world with the Light. I am with you; fear not.
Share the gospel of hope in my Word.”
An echo resounds through the hallways of time –
Tis the voice of a mother that says,
‘Raise them up on the Word, send them forth to proclaim,
Love, encourage, and pray through long days.’
An echo resounds through the hallways of time –
Tis the voice of a martyr I hear:
‘Live and die holding forth the bright hope of the Light.
Christ is with you in truth, never fear.’
An echo resounds through the hallways of time –
Tis the voice of a preacher of Light:
‘Point the way to the cross and beyond to the crown.
Don’t give up or retreat from the fight.’
An echo resounds through the hallways of time –
Tis the gasp of a life almost past:
‘Point to Christ. He is near. He is worthy of all.
He has come. He’ll receive you at last.’
These echoes resound through the hallways of time –
Tis the charge given you, given me.
Will we take up the torch, give our all in the fight,
Leave an echo for those yet to be?
