Lyics

WHENE'ER a sinner turns to God,

With contrite heart and flowing eyes,

The happy news makes angels smile,

And tell their joys above the skies.



Well may the church below rejoice,

And echo back the heav'nly sound:

This soul was dead, but now's alive;

This sheep was lost, but now is found.



Glory to God on high be giv'n,

For this unbounded love to men;

Let saints below and saints above,

In concert join the loud Amen!
