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 fear's away.
