Soon as I on His name believed, His pard'ning grace my soul received, And was from sin and death retrieved, Mercy's free, mercy's free. 3 This precious truth, ye sinners hear it, Mercy's free, mercy's free; Ye ministers of God, declare it, Mercy's free, mercy's free, Visit the heathen's dark abode, Proclaim to all the love of God, And spread the glorious news abroad, Mercy's free, mercy's free. 4 Long as I live I'll still be crying, Mercy's free, mercy's free; And thus shall be my theme when dying, Mercy's free, mercy's free. And when the vale of death I've passed, When lodged above the stormy blast, I'll sing while endless ages last, Mercy's free, mercy's free.
