There’s a message that comes to the soul in its need,
’Tis a wonderful message, and all the world may read.
’Twas spoken for him whosoe’er will give it heed—
“I am come that they might have life, and more abundantly.”

Refrain

More abundantly, more abundantly,
That they might have life more abundantly;
They might have life, and more abundantly.

’Tis a message that tells of an infinite love,
That could bring One to earth from His throne of light above,
To save us from sin, and His wondrous grace to prove—
“I am come that they might have life, and more abundantly.”

Refrain

’Tis a message of gladness the world cannot give,
And its fullness of meaning we freely may receive:
’Twas given for him who on Jesus will believe—
“I am come that they might have life, and more abundantly.”
