67. Flash the News Along the Line

1 Hear the news from heav’n above,
Jesus waits to save;
Waits in mercy and in love,
Jesus waits to save;
He who died on Calvary
To atone for me,
Offers now, to all the race
His salvation free.

Refrain:
Flash the news along the line,
Jesus waits to save,
Waits to save with pow’r divine,
Jesus waits to save.

2 O the glad and welcome news,
Jesus waits to save;
Who could such great love refuse?
Jesus waits to save;
He is here in love today
While we plead and pray,
And He waits, O soul! to bear
All your sins away. [Refrain]

3 O what wondrous grace is this,
Jesus waits to save;
Would you know God’s perfect peace?
Jesus waits to save;
Lo, He standeth at the door,
Knocketh o’er and o’er,
In the tones of tend’rest love
Pleading evermore. [Refrain]
