LyicsHow free and boundless is the grace
Of our redeeming God!
Extending to the Greek and Jew,
And men of every blood.
Come, all you wretched sinners, come,
He'll form your souls anew;
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.
His doctrine is almighty love;
There's virtue in his name
To turn a raven to a dove,
A lion to a lamb.
Come, then, accept the offered grace
And make no more delay;
His love will all your guilt efface,
And soothe your fears away.
