LyicsThe Lord of life exalted stands,
Aloud he cries, and spreads his hands;
He calls ten thousand sinners round,
And sends a voice from ev'ry wound.
"Attend ye thirsty souls, draw near,
"And satiate all your wishes here:
"Behold the living fountain flows,
"In streams as various as your woes.
"An ample pardon here I give,
"And bid the sentenc'd rebel live;
"Show him my Father's smiling face,
"And lodge him in his dear embrace.
"I purge from sin's detested stain,
"And make the crimson white again,
"Lead to celestial joys refin'd,
"And lasting as the deathless mind."
Blest Saviour, I can doubt no more;
I hear, and wonder, and adore:
Panting I seek that fountain-head,
Whence waters, so divine, proceed.
Clear spring of life, flow on, and roll
With growing swell, from pole to pole,
Till flowers and fruits of paradise,
Round all the winding currents rise.
