Allen 576
Tune: Wilson Marion Cooper, 1910
Lyrics: Samuel Medley, 1802
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
O what amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found;
Suited to ev'ry sinner's case,
Who knows the joyful sound.
Chorus:
Who knows the gospel sound,
Suited to ev'ry sinner's case,
Who knows the joyful gospel sound.
Poor, sinful, needy, thirsty souls
Are freely welcomed here;
Salvation like a river rolls,
Abundant, free and clear.
(Chorus)
“Whoever will,” O gracious word!
Shall of this stream partake;
Come, thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink for Jesus' sake.
(Chorus)
In honor of the composer' beloved friend and brother, T. J. Allen.
W. M. Cooper, of Dothan, Alabama, dated his song August 31, 1910.
