Salvation rich and great,
For us in Christ is found;
Ye trembling souls, the words repeat,
And dwell upon the sound.
‘So great’ indeed it is,
Procured by Jesus’ blood,
It makes secure the realms of bliss,
And brings us home to God.
‘So great,’ for it extends
To ages yet unborn;
Exalts the low, the stubborn bends,
And saves the most forlorn.
Come sinners, filled with shame,
To Jesus quickly haste;
Believe in his almighty name,
And his salvation taste.
