O What Amazing Words of Grace
Are in the gospel found!
Suited to ev'ry sinner's case
Who knows the joyful sound.
Poor, sinful, thirsty, fainting souls,
Are freely welcome here;
Salvation like a river rolls,
Abundant, free, and clear.
Come, then, with all your wants and wounds,
Your ev'ry burden bring;
Here love, unchanging love, abounds,
A deep, celestial spring.
"Whoever will" O gracious word!--
Shall of this stream partake;
Come, thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink for Jesus' sake.
Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Have here found life and peace;
Come, then, and prove its virtues too,
And drink, adore, and bless.
This spring with living water flows.
And living joy imparts;
Come, thirsty souls, your wants disclose,
And drink with thankful hearts.
