Lyics

The Saviour calls; let every ear

Attend the heavenly sound;

Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear;

Hope smiles reviving round.



For every thirsty, longing heart,

Here streams of bounty flow,

And life, and health, and bliss impart,

To banish mortal wo.



Ye sinners, come; 't is mercy's voice;

That gracious voice obey;

'T is Jesus calls to heavenly 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.
