Lord, and am I yet alive,
Not in torments, not in hell!
Still doth thy good Spirit strive—
With the chief of sinners dwell!
Tell it, unto sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell.
Yes, I still lift up mine eyes,
Will not of thy love despair:
Still, in spite of sin, I rise,
Still I bow to thee in prayer.
Tell it, unto sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell.
O the length and breadth of love!
Jesus, Saviour, can it be?
All thy mercy's height I prove,
All the depth is seen in me.
Tell it, unto sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell.
See a bush that burns with fire
Unconsumed amid the flame!
Turn aside the sight t' admire—
I the living wonder am!
Tell it, unto sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell.
See a stone that hangs in air!
See a spark in ocean live!
Kept alive with death so near,
I to God the glory give :
Ever tell—to sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell.
