CCCLXII. The Freeness of the Gospel

1 How free and boundless is the grace
Of our redeeming God,
Extending to the Greek and Jew,
And men of every blood!

2 The mightiest king, and meanest slave,
May his rich mercy taste;
He bids the beggar and the prince,
Unto the gospel feast.

3 None are excluded thence, but those
Who do themselves exclude;
Welcome the learned and polite,
The ignorant and rude.

4 Come then ye men of every name,
Of every rank and tongue;
What you are willing to receive,
Doth unto you belong.
