Lyics

COME, 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 you still for nothing?

Spend your strength and treasure too?

Joyfully receive the blessing

Which his liberal hands bestow-

All his goodness

Let your souls delight to know.
