LyicsSINNERS, will you scorn the message,
Sent in mercy from above!
Every sentence-oh how tender!
Every line is full of love:
Listen to it-
Every 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."
How important:
"Free forgiveness in his name."
Tempted souls, they bring you succor;
Fearful hearts they quell your fears:
And, with news of consolation,
Chase away the falling tears.
Tender heralds:
Chase away the falling tears.
False professors, grovelling worldlings,
Callous hearers of the word,
While the messengers address you,
Take the warnings they afford;
We entreat you-
Take the warnings they afford.
Who hath our report believed?
Who received the joyful word?
Who embraced the news of pardon,
Offered to you by the Lord?
Can you slight it?
Offered to you by the Lord?
