SALVATION'S MESSAGE.

By T. A. Zoller

BY T. A. ZOLLER.
O WONDERFUL message sent down from above By our heavenly Father in tenderest love, Which tells of a Saviour who suffered and died To redeem man from death, tho by man crucified! Such love and compassion was ne'er before shown; For all our transgressions, he came to atone. This wond'rous salvation he offers to all; He's earnestly pleading, O, now hear his call!
Accept the salvation he offers so free. The Saviour in mercy says: “Come unto me All ye who are weary and laden with sin, I'll carry your burdens, sweet rest you shall win; Come learn of my ways and my yoke meekly wear, I'll guide and protect you with tenderest care. Now give me your heart and your hand let me take, I never will leave you, no, never forsake.”
O, how can you slight such compassionate love! He bids you to come and his promises prove. How can you turn from him so coldly away, Still linger in sin and rebellion to-day! In pity he lingers, still anxious to save, O, think of the cross—of the life that he gave, The shame and the anguish he suffered for you— O think, will you crucify Jesus anew?
To-day is the time for you to accept The life that he offers. If you would be kept From the storm that will sweep o'er the guilty ere long, While mercy still lingers, come, join the glad throng Whose captain is Jesus, he leads them along; His love is their theme, and his praise is their song; And soon to those mansions he's gone to prepare He'll take them, to dwell forevermore there.
