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
