I: Thy message by the preacher seal, / And let thy power be known, / That every sinner here may feel / The word is not his own.
II: Amongst the foremost of the throng / Who dare thee to thy face, / He in rebellion stood too long, / And fought against thy grace.
III: But grace prevail'd, he mercy found, / And now by thee is sent, / To tell his fellow-rebels round, / And call them to repent.
IV: In Jesus God is reconciled, / The worst may be forgiven; / Come, and he'll own you as a child, / And make you heir of heaven.
V: O may the word of gospel truth / Your chief desires engage!
And Jesus be your guide in youth, / Your joy in hoary age.
VI: Perhaps the year that's now begun / May prove to some their last; / The sands of life may soon be run, / The day of grace be past.
VII: Think, if you slight this embassy, / And will not warning take, / When Jesus in the clouds you see, / What answer will you make?
