Author: G. W. C. Hymnal: Glad Tidings in Song #152 (1921) First Line: As I read God's wondrous message Lyrics: 1 As I read God’s wondrous message, Telling of His only Son, Who on Calv’ry died to ransom Souls despairing and undone; It was written by the prophet, In the name of our great King, And because His word included me, I’ll never cease to sing. Refrain: “I have redeemed thee, I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name,” “I have redeemed thee, I have redeemed thee,” His promise I now claim; Wondrous message of salvation, I read it and I know That altho’ my sins were crimson red, He’s washed them white as snow. 2 As I read the message over, Oh, it means so much to me! How such wondrous grace was offered And His love so full could be; Tho’ I do not understand it, Yet His promise I now claim; For “I have redeemed thee” is His word, I’ll trust in His great name. [Refrain] 3 O’er this message I would ponder, How it does my heart inspire! It was wondrous condescension, To redeem me from the mire; And He freely my transgressions As a “thick cloud blotted out;” I will praise, adore and love Him more, His word I cannot doubt. [Refrain] 4 Why in burning deserts wander? Why by sin deluded be? There is grace and pow’r to help you, And from all sin make you free; Would you know this full redemption, A life clean, without, within? You must take the straight and narrow way, And o’er all evil win. [Refrain] Topics: Assurance Scripture: Isaiah 43:1 Languages: English Tune Title: [As I read God's wondrous message]
