Message of Love

1. Thy Saviour is pleading, O wand'rer, today;
From sin's vain allurements Turn, turn thee away,
Thro' perfect surrender Thy warfare shall cease;
How sweet is the message, Christ giveth thee peace.

Chorus:
Sweet message of love For ev'ry lost soul;
Look, sinner, to Jesus For Christ maketh thee whole.

2. O trust thy Redeemer Once nailed to the tree,
And heed now the message Love beareth to thee;
Then come, weary pilgrim, By sorrow oppressed,
Bring Jesus thy burden, He giveth thee rest. [Chorus]

3. From sin's fatal slumber, O rouse and awake!
Soon death may o'ertake thee, Thy life is at stake!
Christ is thy salvation From fear and from strife;
The Lord hath redeemed thee, He giveth thee life. [Chorus]

4. Bright sunbeams of mercy Thy path shall illume,
Dispelling thy darkness, Far scatt'ring thy gloom;
They shine with a radiance So peaceful and bright;
O sinner, believe it! Christ giveth thee light. [Chorus]
