3. Yes, whosoever will, O let him freely come And freely drink the stream of life; ’Tis Jesus bids him come. 4. Lo, Jesus, who invites, Declares, “I quickly come.” Lord, even so; I wait Thine hour; Jesus, my Savior, come! H. U. Onderdonk, 1826. 53 S. M. Let every ear attend And every heart rejoice; The trumpet of the Gospel sounds With an inviting voice. 2. Ho! all ye starving souls, That feed upon the wind And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind. 3. Here Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4. Ho! ye that pant for streams And pine away and die, Here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. 5. Rivers of mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows Like floods of milk and wine. 6. The gates of Gospel grace Stand open night and day. Lord, we are come to seek supplies And drive our wants away. Isaac Watts, 1707. 54 L. M. Return, O wanderer, return And seek an injured Father’s face; Those warm desires that in thee burn Were kindled by reclaiming grace. 2. Return, O wanderer, return And seek a Father’s melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, His hand shall heal thine inward smart. 3. Return, O wanderer, return, Thy Savior bids thy spirit live; Go to His bleeding feet and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4. Return, O wanderer, return And wipe away the falling tear; ’Tis God who says, “No longer mourn,” ’Tis Mercy’s voice invites thee near. W. B. Collyer, 1812. 55 L. M. Hasten, O sinner, to be wise And stay not for the morrow’s sun, The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won. 2. O hasten, mercy to implore And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er Before this evening’s course be run. 3. Hasten, O sinner, to return And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn Before the needful work is done. 4. Hasten, O sinner, to be blest And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest Before the morrow is begun. Thomas Scott, 1773. 56 7s
