LyicsCOME 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 Saviour 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:
'Tis a soul-reviving floor;
God is faithful-he will never
Break the cov'nant sealed in blood-
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when he was crucified.
