Lyics

That name to me sounds ever sweet,
Where grace and truth do always meet;
Where right'ousness doth peace embrace,
And opens wide a store of grace.


A meeting place it is indeed,
Where mercy meets the sinner's need;
And opens wide a gracious store,
Sufficient to relieve the poor.


Hark! dont, you hear the heav'nly call,
It soundeth loud, it is to all;
To high and low, to bond and free,
That name may say, 'tis not for me.


Ho! every one that thirsts, he cries,
Here's wine and milk and large supplies;
Come now to me and drink your fill,
'Tis free for whosoever will.


Come now receive, I ask no pay,
But freely give it all away,
To all that do my word believe,
And freely now my grace receive.
