Verse 1
Lord, and am I yet alive,
Not in torments, not in hell!
Still doth thy good Spirit strive,
With the chief of sinners dwell!
Yes; I still lift up my eyes,
Will not of thy love despair,
Still in spite of sin I rise,
Still to call thee mine I dare.
Verse 2
O the length and breadth of love!
Jesu, Saviour, can it be?
All thy mercy’s heighth I prove,
All its depth is seen in me!
O the miracle of grace!
Tell it out, to sinners tell!
Fiends, and men, and angels gaze,
I am, I am out of hell!
Verse 3
Turn aside a sight t’ admire,
I the living wonder am!
See a bush that burns with fire,
Unconsum’d amidst the flame!
See a stone that hangs in air!
See a spark in oceans dwell!
Kept alive with death so near,
I am, I am out of hell!
