139. Mercy is Free

1 Praise be to Jesus! His mercy is free;
Mercy is free, Mercy is free:
Sinner, that mercy is flowing for thee,
Mercy is boundless and free.
If thou art willing on Him to believe,
Mercy is free, mercy is free:
Life everlasting thy soul may receive,
Mercy is boundless and free.

Refrain:
Jesus the Saviour is looking for thee,
Looking for thee looking for thee;
Lovingly, tenderly calling for thee,
Calling and looking for thee.

2 Why on the mountains of sin wilt thou roam?
Mercy is free, Mercy is free:
Gently the Spirit is calling, 'Come home,'
Mercy is boundless and free.
Thou art in darkness, O come to the light!
Mercy is free, mercy is free:
Jesus is waiting, He’ll save you tonight,
Mercy is boundless and free. [Refrain]

3 Think of His goodness, and patience and love;
Mercy is free, Mercy is free:
Pleading thy cause with His Father above,
Mercy is boundless and free.
Come, and repenting, O give Him thy heart!
Mercy is free, mercy is free:
Grieve Him no longer, but come as thou art,
Mercy is boundless and free. [Refrain]

4 Yes, there is pardon for all who believe;
Mercy is free, Mercy is free:
Come and this moment a blessing receive,
Mercy is boundless and free.
Jesus is waiting, O hear Him proclaim!
Mercy is free, mercy is free:
Cling to His mercy, believe on His name,
Mercy is boundless and free. [Refrain]
