Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #497 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O what amazing words of grace Lyrics: 1 O what amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found!
Suited to every sinner’s case
Who knows the joyful sound,
Who knows the joyful sound.
2 Poor, sinful, thirsty, fainting souls
Are freely welcome here;
Salvation, like a river rolls
Abundant, free, and clear,
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,
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,
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,
And drink, adore, and bless.
AMEN. Topics: Assurance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE
