Ye Thirsty for God

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1762
Composer: Johann Haydn (1737–1806)

Ye thirs­ty for God

to Je­sus give ear

And take

through His blood

The pow­er to draw near;

His kind in­vi­ta­tion

ye sin­ners

em­brace

The sense of sal­va­tion

ac­cept­ing by grace.

Sent down from above

who go­verns the skies

In ve­he­ment love

To sin­ners He cries

Drink in­to My Spir­it

who hap­py would be

And all things in­her­it by com­ing to Me.

O Sav­ior of all

Thy Word we be­lieve

And come at Thy call

Thy grace to re­ceive;

The bless­ing is giv­en wher­ev­er Thou art.

The ear­nest of Heav­en is love in the heart.

To us at Thy feet the Com­fort­er give

Who gasp to ad­mit

Thy Spir­it

and live;

The weak­est be­liev­ers ac­know­ledge for Thine

And fill us with riv­ers of wa­ter di­vine.
