The Gospel Message; or, Reconciliation to God. 1 INNERS, you are now addressed He hath sent a message to you, Pay attention to his word; He hath sent it, Pay attention to his word. 2 Think what you have all been doing, All your actions One continued scene of sin. 3 Yet your long-abused Sovereign 4 Pardon now is freely publish'd See it flows through Jesus' blood! O delay not, peace: Listen to the terms of peace. 6 Having thus, then, heard the message, If you will be say'd or not: Say, poor sinner, Will you now be sav'd or not? 123 MR. FOUNTAIN. 115 (3d P.) L. M. Gould's 272. Lewton 30. Why will ye die? Ezek xxxiii. 10. 1 WHY, thoughtless sinner, wilt thou die? Can the infernal regions charın? Or wilt thou yet believe the lie, That sin can do thy soul no harm? 2 God has pronounc'd the sinner's doom In ruin soon his course must end: Wilt thou on peace in sin presume? Or on what confidence dépend? 3 Hast thou an arm like God most high, In equal war with him to meet? Canst thou his thunderbolts defy? Or quench his flames beneath thy feet? 4 Deluded worm !-beware in time; Now let the fatal contest cease; Confess thy guilt, abhor thy crime, And humbly sue for terms of peace. 5 Peace is proclaim'd! O, bless the sound Of pardon bought with blood divine: God has himself the ransom found, Which could atone for sins like thine. 6 Embrace him with ecstatic joy; His praise proclaim with every breath: Who him reject their souls destroy; Who hate him are in love with death.
