1 Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring
where living waters flow;
free to that sacred fountain all
without a price may go.
2 How long to streams of false delight
will ye in crowds repair?
how long your strength and substance waste
on trifles, light as air?
3 My stores afford those rich supplies
that health and pleasure give;
incline your ear, and come to Me;
the soul that hears shall live.
4 With you a cov’nant I will make
that ever shall endure;
the hope which gladden'd David’s heart
my mercy hath made sure.
5 Behold He comes! your leader comes,
with might and honour crown'd;
a witness who shall spread my name
to earth’s remotest bound.
6 See! nations hasten to his call
from ev’ry distant shore;
isles, yet unknown, shall bow to him,
and Israel’s God adore.
