O WHAT amazing words of grace

Are in the gospel found!

Suited to ev'ry 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 ev'ry 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.
