The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#497

497. O What Amazing Works 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,
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.
