8992. Be A Messenger For Jesus

1 Be a messenger for Jesus,
Speaking words that cheer and bless,
In the name of Him who pities
Hunger, weakness, and distress.

Refrain:
Be a messenger for Jesus,
Utter words of hope divine;
Be a messenger for Jesus,
And rich blessing shall be thine.

2 To the toil worn and the weary,
Weighted with a load of care,
Say the loving Master bids them
In His holy rest to share. [Refrain]

3 To the weak and sorely tempted,
Striving to resist the wrong,
Speak the helpful words of Jesus,
That thro’ faith they may be strong. [Refrain]

4 To the sad and heavy hearted,
Round whom dreary shadows be,
Oft repeat the Savior’s promise
Of a joyous life on high. [Refrain]
