1. Come and hear the Way of freedom
From the mouths of ransomed saints
The good news of sins forgiven
And Life in Jesus’ Name
2. Come join the hopeful pilgrims
All longing for that great day, When a
Thousand thousand tongues will sing
Our Great Redeemer’s praise
CHORUS
We preach Christ
And Him crucified
Raised to life
Glorified
He is our Rock
He is our life
Give Him praise, lift Him high
We preach Christ
We preach Christ
3. Come hear the apostles’ teaching
Passed down from long ago -
The Word of God is alive and setting
countless hearts aglow
4. Perhaps a verse and word in season
Could be the start of a life of faith
Come hear the sweet, sweet sound
Of God’s amazing grace
CHORUS
5. Through bold and faithful teaching
Generations have heard the truth
In the power of the Holy Spirit
The Gospel’s bearing fruit
6. So give thanks to the King of Mercy
You ransomed of the fall
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name
And crown Him Lord of All
CHORUS

We Preach Christ (Katoomba Convention Centenary Version)
Words and Music by Colin Buchanan

1. We headed up to the blue Blue Mountains
In summer sun and winter rain
And we were taught from the Word of the Lord
Again and again and again
2. Tin shed on a misty morning
Big top on sunny days
Over 1,000 tongues all singing
Our Great Redeemer’s praise
CHORUS
We preach Christ
And Him crucified
Raised to life
Glorified
He is our Rock
He is our life
Give Him praise, lift Him high
We preach Christ
We preach Christ
3. They came to serve on a plywood platform
They came to speak from across the globe
The Word of God was alive and setting
countless hearts aglow
4. For some a verse and word in season
Became the start of a life of faith
As they heard the sweet, sweet sound
Of God’s amazing grace
CHORUS
5. 100 years of faithful teaching
Generations have heard the truth
In the power of the Holy Spirit
The Gospel’s bearing fruit
6. So give thanks to the King of Mercy
You ransomed of the fall
All hail the power of Jesus’ Name
And crown Him Lord of All
CHORUS |
