LyicsHO, ye who thirst! a living fount
For you is open'd wide;--
The fount that gush'd, on Calvary'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 nought
Can fill th' immortal mind.
Come, and partake the blessed feast
That Christ for you has spread;
Not all the treasures of the East
Could buy this living bread.
Come, join the humble, happy band,
That sing redemption's lay;
With them united, heart and hand,
Pursue the heavenly way.
