LyicsSINNERS, will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, O 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."
O how gracious!
Free forgiveness in his name.
Will you 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,
Waiting spirits, speed your way;
Haste ye to the court of heaven;
Tidings bear without delay:
Rebel sinners
Glad the message will obey.
