Lyics

HARK, the gospel trumpet's sounding!

Sinners hear the joyful call;

Christ in pardoning love abounding,

Offers liberty to all.



Tho' your crimes have reached to heaven,

And of deepest dye appear;

Ask, and they shall be forgiven,

Seek, and you shall find him near.



Cast your load of guilt upon him,

To the Lord for mercy flee,

Tho' the strongest fetters bind you,

His salvation makes you free,



Turn to Jesus, seek salvation,

Sound aloud his gracious name;

Glory, honor, adoration!

Christ the Lord to save us came.
