1 The glorious gospel of the Son of God
Is free to all who hear;
To all who wish His righteousness to claim,
This word of faith is near.

Refrain:
If thou shalt confess Him as your Lord,
And believe that God hath raised Him from the dead,
Thou shalt be saved,
Thou shalt be saved.

2 His word is sure, His promise cannot fail,
His love extends to all;
His grace, whose depths are deeper than the sea,
Is free for ev’ry call. [Refrain]

3 ‘Twas not the righteous Jesus came to call,
but sinners dead in sin;
And all who come confessing Him as Lord,
May now new life begin. [Refrain]

4 That great word, “whosoever will may come,”
Includes the whole of man;
Redemptions work, thro’ death, has been decreed,
E’er since the world began. [Refrain]
