Sinners, will you scorn the message,
Coming from the courts above!
Mercy beams in every passage;
Every line is full of love;
Oh! believe it,
Every line is full of love.

2. Now the heralds of salvation
Joyful news from heaven proclaim!
Sinners freed from condemnation,
Through the all-atoning Lamb!
Life receiving
Through the all-atoning Lamb.

3. 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.
