LyicsSINNER, will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Ev'ry sentence, O how tender,
Ev'ry line is full of love;
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:"
O how gracious!
"Free forgiveness in his name."
Who hath our report believed?
Who receiv'd the joyful word?
Who embrac'd the news of pardon
Offer'd to you by the Lord?
Can you slight it?
Offer'd to you by the Lord?
O ye angels, hov'ring 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.
