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!
May of this stream partake:
Come, thirsty soul, and bless the Lord,
And drink, for Jesu’s 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.
