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 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.
