LyicsWe've found the rock, the travellers cri'd,
The stone that all the prophets tri'd;
Come, children, drink the balmy dew,
'Twas Christ that shed his blood for you.
This costly mixture, cures the soul,
That sin and guilt have made so foul;
O that you would believe in God,
And wash in Christ's most precious blood.
Here's glory, glory in my soul,
Come, mourners, feel the current roll;
It makes me happy while I sing,
And shout salvation to my King.
Welcome dear friend, 'tis heav'n to-night,
It shines around with dazzling light;
And in this light we'll soar away,
Where there's no night, but endless day.
