 1 

Years I spent in sorrow 'round the cross,

Still repenting over sins and dross.

Then at last the river I did cross,

   To touch the throne.

 

Mercy now is flowing, oh, the grace —

That I find of Him to run the race!

Boldly now I come again to taste

   My glorious Lord.

 

 2 

In my Christian life I'd daily fall,

So I answered every altar-call,

Till I left the altar, left it all,

   To touch the throne.

 

Mercy now is flowing, oh, the grace —

That I find of Him to run the race!

Boldly now I come again to taste

   My glorious Lord.

 

 3 

Brothers, to the Holiest forward come;

Leave your sins behind, the race now run.

Hallelujah! All the work is done —

   The veil is gone!

 

Mercy now is flowing, oh, the grace —

That I find of Him to run the race!

Boldly now I come again to taste

   My glorious Lord.

 

 4 

Now within the veil, enjoying God,

Manna, law of life, and budding rod;

Christ Himself, the ark, is our abode —

   Hallelujah!

 

Mercy now is flowing, oh, the grace —

That I find of Him to run the race!

Boldly now I come again to taste

   My glorious Lord.
