The Gospel Call (Pierson)

The Spir­it and the Bride say

Come

And take the wa­ter of life!

O bless­èd call! Good news to all

Who tire of sin and strife!

The Spir­it says

Come!

The Bride says

Come

And take of the wa­ter of life free­ly.

The Spir­it says

Come!

The Bride says

Come

And take of the wa­ter of life free­ly.

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.

Ye souls who are athirst

for­sake

Your brok­en cis­terns first;

Then come

par­take; one draught will slake

Your soul’s con­sum­ing thirst.

Yea

who­so­ev­er will may come:

Your long­ings Christ can fill;

The stream is free to you and me

And who­so­ev­er will.
