To The Rescue

Wonderful story of love,
Given to me and to you;
Sent from the Saviour above,
Love that’s eternal and true.

Love that’s eternal and true,
The Saviour that once was dead;
Given to me and to you,
Wonderful, heavenly bread.

Wonderful, heavenly bread,
Free to earths rebels in jail,
Christ had ransomed your head,
Pardon for sinners for sale.

Pardon for sinners for sale,
The great Merchant man would trade;
Free is the sinner on bail,
The ransom for earth is paid.

The ransome for earth is paid,
Such is the message to go;
God has arrangements all made,
Lifting the curse and the woe,

Lifting the curse and the woe,
Blotting it out by his blood;
None of my sin breaks will show,
Washed by the pure cleansing flood.

Washed by the pure cleansing flood,
Waiting, depending, in search;
Cleansed from sins vile filthy mud,
Jesus commissions his church.

Jesus commissions his church.
Go ye into all the world;
Go out in the hi-ways and search,
Such is the message unfurled.

Such is the message unfurled.
Will you be true to the task?
Rescuing sinners sin hurled
This is the work God would ask.
