Lyics

HOW 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

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, you men of ev'ry name,

Of ev'ry tribe and tongue;

What you are willing to receive

Does unto you belong.
