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

O how shall I the goodness tell,
Father, which thou to me has shown?
That I, a child of wrath and hell,
Should be called a child of God
Should be called a child of God

Outcasts of men, to you I call,
Harlots, and publicans, and thieves!
He spreads his arms wide to embrace us all;
All us sinners his grace we receive

How shall I equal triumphs raise,
Or sing my great Deliverer's praise?

Based on the first hymn by Charles Wesley, found today as Hymn #342 in the United Methodist Hymnal.
