Lyics

The Saviour calls, let every ear

Attend the heavenly voice;

Ye doubting souls dismiss your fear,

In Jesus now rejoice.



For every thirsty longing heart,

Here streams of bounty flow,

The Lord will life and bliss impart,

To banish sin and wo.



Here spings of sacred pleasure rise,

To ease your every pain;

Here wine and milk in full supplies,

Nor shall you thirst in vain.



Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice,

The gracious call obey,

Mercy invites to heavenly joys-

And can you yet delay?



Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts,

To thee let sinners fly;

And take the bliss thy love imparts,

And drink and never die.
