LyicsO what amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found!
Suited to every sinner's case,
Who knows the joyful sound.
Poor, sinful, thirsty, fainting souls,
Are freely welcome here;
Salvation, like a river rolls,
Abundant, free and clear.
Come, then, with all your wants and wounds,
Your every burden bring;
Here love, unchanging love, abounds,
A deep, celestial spring.
Whoever will, (O gracious word!)
Shall of this stream partake;
Come; thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink for Jesus' sake.
Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Have here found life and peace;
Come, then and prove its virtues too,
And drink, adore and bless.
