Lyrics

The glo­ri­ous Gos­pel of the Son of God
Is free to all who hear;
To all who wish His right­eous­ness to claim,
This word of faith is near.

Refrain

If thou shalt con­fess Him as your Lord,
And be­lieve that God
Hath raised Him from the dead,
Thou shalt be saved, thou shalt be saved.

His word is sure, His pro­mise cannot fail,
His love ex­tends to all;
His grace, whose depths are deep­er than the sea,
Is free for ev­ery call.

Refrain

’Twas not the right­eous Je­sus came to call,
But sin­ners dead in sin;
And all who come con­fess­ing Him as Lord,
May now new life be­gin.

Refrain

That great word, who­so­ev­er will may come,
Includes the whole of man;
Redemption’s work, thro’ death, has been de­creed
E’er since the world be­gan.
