"Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain"

       1. Come to Calvary's holy mountain,
       Sinners, ruined by the Fall;
       Here a pureand healing fountain
       Flows to you, to me, to all,
       In a full, perpetual tide,
       Opened when our Savior died.

       2. Come in poverty and meanness,
       Come defiled, without, within;
       From infection and uncleanness,
       From the leprosy of sin,
       Wash your robes and make them white;
       Ye shall walk with God in light.

       3. Come in sorrow and contrition,
       Wounded, impotent, and blind;
       Here the guilty free remission,
       Here the troubled peace, may find.
       Health this fountain will restore;
       He that drinks shall thirst no more.

       4. He that drinks shall live forever;
       'Tis a soul-renewing flood.
       God is faithful; God will never
       Break His covenant of blood,
       Signed when our Redeemer died,
       Sealed when He was glorified.
