97. Oh, How Sweet the Gospel Message
8.7.8.7.
1
Oh, how sweet the gospel message,
Rich and boundless, full and free;
Sinner, wilt thou pause and listen?
Jesus died, and died for thee.
2
Say not, ’tis to other sinners —
Those more worthy of His call —
But receive the truth with gladness,
Jesus died, and died for all.
3
Wilt thou rob Him of His purchase
When He bought thee with His blood?
He is praying, He is pleading,
4
Now no barrier to hinder,
Jesus has removed it all;
God can in His Son receive thee —
Answer then His loving call.
5
Let thy soul delight the Savior
By submitting to His love;
And in everlasting favor,
Thou shalt dwell with Him above.
