Still doth thy good Spirit strive!-- With the chief of sinners dwell! Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 2 Yes, I still lift up mine eyes, Will not of thy love despair; Still in spite of sin I rise, Still I bow to thee in prayer. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!
