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