Proclaiming the Return of Christ: A Call to Faith and Evangelism
“Anunciai Pelas Montanhas” by Novo Hinário Adventista is a powerful hymn that calls for the proclamation of Christ’s return. The song’s repetitive chorus, “Anunciai pelas montanhas, Que Cristo vai voltar” (Proclaim on the mountains, That Christ will return), emphasizes the urgency and importance of spreading this message far and wide. The imagery of mountains, land, and sea suggests that this proclamation should reach every corner of the earth, highlighting the global mission of evangelism in the Christian faith.
The verses of the song reflect a deep personal relationship with Christ. The lyrics speak of a soul that never loses heart because of Christ’s guidance and support. This personal testimony serves as a foundation for the call to evangelize, suggesting that the strength and hope found in Christ are reasons enough to share the good news with others. The mention of Christ guiding, feeding the soul, and listening to prayers underscores the nurturing and sustaining aspects of faith.
Furthermore, the song emphasizes the responsibility of believers to share the message of salvation. The line “E nós que O amamos, Devemos proclamar” (And we who love Him, must proclaim) is a direct call to action for those who have experienced Christ’s love and salvation. It reinforces the idea that evangelism is not just a duty but a natural response to the transformative experience of faith. The hymn encapsulates the Adventist belief in the imminent return of Christ and the imperative to prepare the world for this event through active proclamation and living a life of faith.
