LyicsSinners, will you scorn the message,
Sent in mercy from above?
Ev'ry sentence, oh, how tender,
Ev'ry line is full of love.
Listen to it, Listen to it,
Ev'ry line is full of love.
Hear the heralds of the gospel
News from Zion's King proclaim:
"Pardon to each rebel sinner;
Free forgiveness in his name."
Oh how gracious!
"Free forgiveness in his name."
Wil lyou not receive the message--
Listen to the joyful word--
And embrace the news of pardon
Offered to you by the Lord?
Can you slight it--
Offered to you by the Lord?
O ye angels, hovering round us,
Haste ye to the court of heaven;
Tidings bear without delay;
Rebel sinners
Glad the message will obey.
