Sinners, Will You Scorn the Message?

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

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

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

ten­der her­alds

Chase away the fall­ing tears.

False pro­fes­sors

gro­vel­ing world­lings

Callous hear­ers of the Word

While the mes­sen­gers ad­dress you

Take the warn­ings they af­ford;

We en­treat you

we en­treat you

Take the warn­ings they af­ford.

O ye an­gels

ho­ver­ing round us

Waiting spir­its

speed your way;

Haste ye to the court of Heav­en

Tidings bear with­out de­lay

Rebel sin­ners

re­bel sin­ners

Glad the mes­sage will obey.
