Where shall my wondering soul begin Lyrics

Where shall my wondering soul begin

How shall I all to heaven aspire

A slave redeemed from death and sin

A brand plucked from eternal fire

How shall I equal triumphs raise

Or sing my great deliverer's praise

O how shall I the goodness tell

Father, which thou to me hast showed

That I, a child of wrath and hell

I should be called a child of God

Should know, should feel my sins forgiven

Blest with this antepast of heaven

And shall I slight my Father's love

Or basely fear his gifts to own

Unmindful of his favors prove

Shall I, the hallowed cross to shun

Refuse his righteousness to impart

By hiding it within my heart

Outcasts of men, to you I call

Harlots, and publicans, and thieves

He spreads his arms to embrace you all

Sinners alone his grace receive

No need of Him the righteous have

He came the lost to seek and save

Come, O my guilty brethren, come

Groaning beneath your load of sin

His bleeding heart shall make you room

His open side shall take you in

He calls you now, invites you home

Come, O my guilty brethren, come
