Author: N. P. C. Hymnal: Williston Hymns #174 (1917) First Line: When I was lost in sin, God's spirit entered in Refrain First Line: A messenger for Christ, my King! Lyrics: 1 When I was lost in sin, God’s spirit entered in And plead, by grace divine, my wayward soul to win; ‘Twas there I gave my all in answer to His call, And I became a messenger for Him. Refrain: A messenger for Christ, my King! I’ll tell a world in darkness and in sin, That Jesus died to save, His life for us He gave,— Oh, I will be a messenger for Him. 2 “The story old, yet new, Lord, just I tell it, too— Is there no other work for Thee that I can do?” “Lo! some will never know, unless to them YOU go!” Then I became a messenger for Him. [Refrain] 3 Lord, make me ever bold! The story must be told! Help me to spread abroad, wherever I may go, The knowledge of Thy pow’r that saves each day and hour. Oh, I would be a messenger for Him. [Refrain] Tune Title: [When I was lost in sin, God’s spirit entered in]
