Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13052 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How free the fountain flows
Of endless life and joy!
That spring, which no confinement knows,
Whose waters never cloy!
2 How sweet the accents sound
From the Redeemer’s tongue!
"Assemble, all ye nations round,
In one obedient throng.
3 "The Spirit bears the call
To all the distant lands;
The Church, the bride, reflects it back,
While Jesus waiting stands.
4 "Ho, every thirsty soul,
Approach the sacred spring;
Drink, and your fainting spirits cheer,
Renew the draught, and sing.
5 "Let all that will, approach;
The water freely take;
Free from Mine opening heart it flows,
Your raging thirst to slake."
6 With thankful hearts we come
To taste the offered grace;
And call on all that hear to join
The trial, and the praise. Languages: English Tune Title: BRIGHTON
