164. Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures

1 Come, pure hearts, in sweetest measures
Sing of those who spread the treasures
In the holy Gospels shrined!
Blessed tidings of salvation,
Peace on earth their proclamation,
Love from God to lost man-kind.

2 See the Rivers four that gladden,
With their streams, the better Eden
Planted by our Lord most dear;
Christ, the fountain, these the waters;
Drink, O Sion's sons and daughters!
Drink, and find salvation here.

3 O that we, Thy truth confessing,
And Thy holy Word possessing,
Jesus, may Thy love adore!
Unto Thee our voices raising,
Thee with all Thy ransomed praising,
Ever and for evermore.
