  1. 1The Savior calls; let every ear
  2. Attend the heavenly sound,
  3. Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear;
  4. Hope smiles reviving round.
  5. 2For every thirsty, longing heart,
  6. Here streams of bounty flow,
  7. And life, and health, and bliss impart,
  8. To banish mortal woe.
  9. 3Here springs of sacred pleasures rise
  10. To ease your every pain;
  11. Immortal fountain! full supplies!
  12. Nor shall you thirst in vain.
  13. 4Ye sinners, come, ’tis mercy’s voice;
  14. The gracious call obey:
  15. Mercy invites to heavenly joys,
  16. And can you yet delay?
  17. 5Dear Savior, draw reluctant hearts;
  18. To Thee let sinners fly,
  19. And take the bliss Thy love imparts,
  20. And drink and never die.
