Come with thy burden of grief;
Bury them deep in its waters-----
There thou wilt find a relief.
Haste thou away !---- why wilt thou stay ?
Risk not thy soul on a moment's delay ;
Jesus is waiting to save thee,
Mercy is pleading to-day !
2 Come as thou art to the fountain-----
Jesus is waiting for thee ;
What though thy sins be like crimson?------
White as the snow they shall be !
3 These are the words of the Saviour :
They who repent and believe,
They who are willing to trust Him,
Life at His hands shall receive.
4 Come and be healed at the fountain----
List to the peace-speaking voice ;
Over a sinner returning,
Now let the angels rejoice !
