Rich in mercy, hear the mes­sage
Full of bless­ings from above;
God is call­ing to the way­ward
In the sweet­est tones of love:
Rich in mer­cy, gra­cious accents,
Falling like a breath from Heav’n;
Souls are pur­chased with a ran­som,
And the con­trite are forgiv’n.

Refrain

Rich in mer­cy, won­drous story,
Let us sing it once again;
Sweeter mu­sic to the weary,
Than the an­gels’ glad re­frain.

Rich in mer­cy, dost thou hear it?
Lost one, wea­ry, help­less, poor;
Wilt thou hast­en to be­lieve it?
And a Sav­ior’s love im­plore:
Are you needy? God has rich­es
Far be­yond what we can know,
And the great­ness of His glo­ry
Is not heard of here be­low.

Refrain

Rich in mer­cy, loud pro­claim it!
May the her­alds ne­ver cease
Until ev­ery soul led cap­tive
Finds in Christ a sweet re­lease;
Come, then, sin­ner, how­e’er needy,
All thy wants to Je­sus bring;
There are rich­es, and there’s mer­cy,
In the pre­sence of the King.

Refrain
