LyicsHOW free and boundless is the grace
Of our redeeming God!
Extending to the Greek and Jew,
And men of ev'ry blood.
The mightiest king, the meanest slave,
May his rich mercy taste;
He bids the beggar and the prince
Come to the gospel feast.
None are excluded thence, but those
Who do themselves exclude;
Welcome the learned and polite,
The ignorant and rude.
Come then, you men of ev'ry name,
Of ev'ry tribe and tongue:
What you are willing to receive
May unto you belong.
