LyicsCome, 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.
