Come to the Savior, O sin-stricken soul !
To the streams from the fountain which cleanseth the soul―
The blood and the water that came from His side,
When Jesus, the Savior of sinners, had died.
'Tis the blood that alone for the soul can atone,
Saith the High and the Holy that sits on the throne;
The blood of Christ Jesus atonement hath made,
Thus now for the soul a foundation is laid:
Trust not tar thy works, build not on thy deeds,
These never, oh, never! can meet thy soul's needs.
'Tis faith in His blood whom God hath set forth,
Alone is of value, alone is of worth.
Believe in the Savior I Oh, make no delay.
For Jesus is coming to take us away;
And, O precious soul, if washed in the blood,
Thou wilt live thy forever in the glory of God.
