161b. Oh, what amazing words of grace

1. Oh, what amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found!
Suited to every sinner’s case
Who knows the joyful sound.

2. Here Jesus calls—and he’s a true,
A kind, a faithful friend;
He’s Alpha and Omega, too,
Beginning and the End.

3. Come, then, with all your wants and woes,
Your every burden bring;
Here, love, eternal love, abounds—
A deep, celestial spring.

4. Whoever thirsts—oh gracious word!—
Shall of this stream partake;
Come, thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink for Jesus’ sake.

5. This spring with living water flows,
And living joy imparts;
Come, thirsty souls, your wants disclose,
And drink with thankful hearts.

6. To sinners poor, like me and you,
He says he’ll freely give;
Come, thirsty souls, and prove it true;
Drink, and forever live.
