And take the water of life !
Oh, blessed call ! — good news to all
Who tire of sin and strife !
The Spi - - rit says Come ! . .
The Bride . . . says Come ! . . .
And take . . of the wa - - ter of life . . freely.
The Spi - - rit says Come ! . .
The bride . . . says Come ! . . .
And take . . of the wa - - ter of life . . . freely.
2 Let every one who hears, say Come !
And joyful witness give ;
I heard the sound, the stream I found---
I drank, and now I live !
3 Ye souls who are athirst, forsake
Your broken cisterns first ;
Then come, partake: one draught will slake
Your soul's consuming thirst.
4 Yea, whosoever will may come-
Your longings Christ can fill ;
The stream is free to you and me,
And whosoever will.
