89. The Royal Message

1 I have a royal message,
Thro’ yonder arch it rings,
With tidings, joyful tidings,
From Christ the King of kings.

Refrain:
Abundant life He offers;
Then at His altar bow;
Eternal life He gives you—
Accept, accept it now.

2 I have a tender message
From Christ your dearest friend;
My presence shall go with you,
Be with you to the end. [Refrain]

3 I have a loving message:
Come unto me and rest;
Ye who are heavy laden,
Find shelter on my breast. [Refrain]
