Gospel Invitation
56 C.M. Isaac Watts Gospel Invitation. Song. 5. 1; Isa. 55. 1-3 1 [Let every open ear attend, And broken heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice.] 2 Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind; 3 Eternal Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast; And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. 4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst, With springs that never dry. 5 Rivers of love and mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine. 6 [Ye perishing and naked poor, Who work with mighty pain To weave a garment of your own That will not hide your sin; 7 Come naked, and adorn your souls In robes prepared by God, Wrought by the labours of his Son, And dyed in his own blood.] 8 Dear God! the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines; Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins! 9 The happy gates of gospel grace Stand open night and day; Lord, we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away.
