Lyics

The Saviour calls, let every ear

Attend the heavenly voice;

Ye doubting souls dismiss your fear,

In Jesus now rejoice.



For every thirsty longing heart,

Here streams of bounty flow;

The Lord will life and bliss impart,

To banish sin and wo.



Here springs of sacred pleasure rise;

To ease your every pain;

Here wine and milk in full supplies

Nor shall you thirst in vain.



Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice;

The gracious call obey,

Mercy invites to heav'nly joys -

And can you yet delay?



Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts

To thee let sinners fly;

And take the bliss thy love imparts,

And drink and never die.
