LyicsThe voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!"
For Adam's lost race Christ hath open'd a fountain;
For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression,
His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation.
Chorus --
Hallelujah to the Lamb! he hath purchas'd our pardon
We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan.
Ye souls that are wounded! O! flee to the Saviour:
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.
O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious,
O'er sin, death and hell, thou art more than victorious;
Thy name is the theme of the great congregation,
While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation.
