5502. O What Amazing Words of Grace

1. O 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.
