Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

276 Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain
   sinners ruined by the fall;
   Here a pure and healing fountain
   Flows to you, to me, to all,
   In a full perpetual tide,
   Opened when our Savior died.

2 Come in poverty and meanness,
   Come, defiled without, within;
   From imperfection and uncleanness,
   From the leprosy of sin,
   Wash your robes and make them white;
   Ye shall walk with God in light.

3 Come, in sorrow and contrition,
   Wounded, impotent, and blind;
   Here the guilty, free remission,
   Here the troubled peace may find.
   Health this fountain will restore;
   He that drinks shall thirst no more.

4 He that drinks shall live forever,
   'Tis a soul-renewing flood;
   God is faithful; God will never
   Break His covenant of blood;
   Signed when our Redeemer died,
   Sealed when He was glorified.
