LyicsCOME, you poor and thirsty sinners,
To the living waters come;
Jesus bids you come and welcome,
And declares he'll cast out none:
Give him credit;
He's Jehovah's faithful Son!
Hearken to the Bride and Spirit,
Seize the promises divine;
Without money, price, or merit,
Buy of Jesus milk and wine;
His rich bounty
Freely take: he makes it thine.
Wherefore toil ye still for nothing,
Spend your strength and treasure too?
Joyfully receive the blessing
Which his lib'ral hands bestow;
All his goodness
Let your souls delight to know.
