Let him that is athirst, come.
Rev. 22:17.
O what amazing words of grace
Are in the gospel found,
Suited to every sinner’s case
Who hears the joyful sound!
2 Come, then, with all your wants and wounds
Your every burden bring;
Here love, unchanging love, abounds—
A deep celestial spring.
3 This spring with living water flows,
And heavenly joy imparts;
Come, thirsty souls! your wants disclose,
And drink with thankful hearts.
4 Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Have here found life and peace;
Come then, and prove its virtues too,
And drink, adore, and bless.
291 C. M.
That whoso believeth might not perish.
John 3:15.
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve:
2 I’ll go to Jesus, though my sin
Has like a mountain rose;
His kingdom now I’ll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3 Humbly I’ll bow at his command,
And there my guilt confess;
I’ll own I am a wretch undone,
Without his sovereign grace.
4 Surely he will accept my plea,
For he has bid me come;
Forthwith I’ll rise, and to him flee,
For yet, he says, there’s room.
5 I can not perish if I go;
I am resolved to try:
For if I stay away, I know
I must for ever die.
292 C. M.
Come to the Ark.
Gen. 7:1.
Come to the ark, come to the ark;
To Jesus come away;
The pestilence walks forth by night,
The arrow flies by day.
2 Come to the ark; the waters rise,
The seas their billows rear:
While darkness gathers o’er the skies,
Behold a refuge near!
3 Come to the ark, all, all that weep
Beneath the sense of sin:
Without, deep calleth unto deep,
But all is peace within.
4 Come to the ark, ere yet the flood
Your lingering steps oppose;
Come, for the door, which open stood,
Is now about to close.
293 C. M.
He that cometh to me shall never hunger.
John 6:35.
Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast,
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms,
But see, there yet is room,
3 Room in the Saviour’s bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet:
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.
