Flow to mill­ions, flow to mill­ions,
Come un­to Me, all ye who mourn,
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
As Thou wert ev­er kind;
Humbly at Thy feet I bow;
Oh, in sin why stay away?
Where lies our strength to do His will.
Ye, by fierc­er ang­uish torn,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
The world and its ways I re­sign;
God, my Fa­ther, hear me pray,
To me, the least of all,
Every kin­dred, tongue and na­tion,
My dy­ing Je­sus, my Sav­ior God,
Who made th’aton­ing sac­ri­fice,
My dy­ing Je­sus, my Sav­ior God,
Here ere the fount­ains hence did flow
Pour down up­on our hearts! Flood ov­er our res­cued souls!
We then may call, but all in vain,
His pow­er­ful in­ter­cess­ions rise,

guilt

Held in chains of guilt and woe;
Resign to Me the will­ing heart,
They mourn their fol­lies past,
Thy wont­ed mer­cy find.
Save me, Je­sus, save me now.
Jesus calls thee home to­day.
And shows how vile our hearts have been;
Here re­pose your hea­vy care:
O come, and spread your woes abroad;
I’m com­ing, dear Sav­ior, to Thee!
Wretched, help­less, lost, un­done,
Thou hast for me a call;
Blessings all around be­stowing,
Now wash me, cleanse me with Thine own blood,
To come and find eter­nal rest.
Now wash me, cleanse me with Thine own blood,
My sins helped eave the thor­ny crown,
Gone are my stains of guilt;
Still re­main, still re­main,
And guilt re­cedes, and ter­ror dies.
