LyicsCOME to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruin'd by the fall!
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows, to cleanse the guilty soul,
In a full, perpetual tide,
Open'd 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 flood;
God is faithful--He will never
Break the cov'nant seal'd in blood;
Sign'd when our Redeemer died,
Seal'd when He was crucified.
