Lyics

Come, to Calv'ry'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 for ever,

'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.
