How vast, how full, how free,
The mercy of our God!
Proclaim the blessed news around,
And spread it all abroad.
How vast! "Whoever will"
May drink at mercy's stream,
And know that faith in Jesus brings
Salvation e'en for him.
How full! It doth remove
The stain of every sin,
And leaves the soul as white and pure
As though no sin had been.
How free! It asks no price,
For God delights to give;
It only says—a simple thing—
"Believe in Christ, and live."
Poor trembling sinner, "Come,"
God waits to comfort thee;
Oh, cast thyself upon His love,
So vast, so full, so free!
