LyicsHO! ye that thirst, a living fount
For you is open'd wide--
The fount that gush'd on Calv'ry's mount
From our Redeemer's side.
Come, seek salvation through the blood
So freely pour'd for you;
O leave the broad and downward road
That leads to endless woe.
Come, ye who long in vain have sought
True happiness to find,
In all the joys of earth there's naught
Can fill th' immortal mind.
Come, and partake the blessed feast
That Christ for you has spread;
Not all the treasures of the east
Can buy this living bread.
Come, join the humble, happy band,
That sing redemption's lay;
With them, united heart and hand,
Pursue the heav'nly way.
