Lyics

SINNERS, 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 accept 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.
