Lyics

O! What amazing words of grace

Are in the gospel found,

Suited to every sinner's case

Who hears the joyful sound!



Come, then, with all your wants and wounds.

Your every burden bring;

Here love, unchanging love, abounds --

A deep celestial spring.



This spring with living water flows,

And heavenly joy imparts;

Come, thirsty souls! your wants disclose,

And drink, with thankful hearts.



Millions of sinners, vile as you, 

Have here found life and peace;

Come then, and prove its virtues too,

And drink, adore, and bless.
