212. The Gospel News

1 Hark! the Gospel news is sounding,
Christ has suffer'd on the tree;
Streams of mercy are abounding,
Grace for all is rich and free.

Now, poor sinner, Now, poor sinner, Now, poor sinner,
Come to Him who died for thee,
Come to Him who died for thee.

2 O escape to yonder mountain!
Refuge find in Him today;
Christ invites you to the fountain,
Come and wash your sins away;

Do not tarry, Do not tarry, Do not tarry,
Come to Jesus while you may,
Come to Jesus while you may.

3 Grace is flowing like a river,
Millions there have been supplied;
Still it flows as fresh as ever
From the Saviour’s wounded side;

None need perish, None need perish, None need perish,
All may live for Christ hath died,
All may live for Christ hath died.

4 Christ alone shall be our portion;
Soon we hope to meet above;
Then we’ll bathe in the full ocean
Of the great Redeemer’s love;

All His fulness, All His fullness, All His fulness,
We shall then forever prove,
We shall then forever prove.
