Lyics

The voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!"

For Adam's lost race Christ hath opened a fountain;

For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression,

His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation.



Ye souls that are wounded! O! flee to the Savior;

He calls you in mercy--'t is infinite favor;

Your sins are increasing--escape to the mountain--

His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain.
