Light and Life ‎#42

42. Drink and live

1 Come unto me, whoever is thirsty,
Drink from the fountain flowing for thee
Fountain of gladness, life everlasting,
Forth from the throne 'tis flowing so free.

Chorus:
Come all ye thirsty, drink ye and live,
Jesus the water freely will give;
Life everlasting, drink to your soul,
Drink of the water, drink and be whole.

2 Hark, to the invitation God gives you,
Drink and ye shall be thirsty no more,
Come, lest ye perish, why are we waiting?
Come, oh ye weary, thirsty and poor. [Chorus]

3 Come, whosoever will, to the fountain,
Come without money, come ye and drink;
Jesus invites you, why do ye tarry?
'Tis but a step from you to the brink. [Chorus]
