Sufficiency and freeness.
WHAT amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found!
Suited to every sinner’s case,
Who knows the joyful sound.
2 Poor, sinful, thirsty, fainting souls,
Are freely welcome here;
Salvation, like a river, rolls,
Abundant, free, and clear.
3 Come, then, with all your wants and wounds;
Your every burden bring:
Here love, unchanging love, abounds,——
A deep, celestial spring.
4 Whoever will—O gracious word!—
May of this stream partake;
Come, thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink, for Jesus’ sake.
5 Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Have here found life and peace;
Come, then, and prove its virtues too,
And drink, adore, and bless.
