Lyics

Come to Calvary's holy mountain, 

Sinners, ruined by the fall!

Here a pure and healing fountain

Flows, to cleanse the guilty soul;

In a full, perpetual tide--

Opened when the Savior died.



Come in sorrow and contrition,

Wounded, impotent, and blind;

Here the guilty find remission--

Here the lost a refuge find:

Health this fountain will restore;

He that drinks shall thirst no more.



Come, ye dying, live forever;

'T is a soul-reviving flood;

God is faithful--he will never

Break the cov'nant sealed in blood:

Signed when our Redeemer died;

Sealed when he was crucified.
