LyicsO WHAT amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found,
Suited to every sinner's case
Who hears the joyful sound!
Come, then, with all your wants and wounds,
Your every burden bring;
Here love, unchanging love, abounds-
A deep, celestial spring.
This spring with living water flows,
And heavenly joy imparts:
Come, thirsty souls, your wants disclose,
And drink with thankful hearts.
Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Have here found life and peace:
Come, then, and prove its virtues, too,
And drink, adore, and bless.
