Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Let every mortal ear attend,And every heart rejoice;The trumpet of the Gospel soundsWith an inviting voice.
2. Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls,That feed upon the wind,And vainly strive with earthly joysTo fill an empty mind.
3. Eternal wisdom has preparedA soul-reviving feast,And bids your longing appetitesThe rich provision taste.
4. Ho! ye that pant for living streams,And pine away and die,Here you may quench your raging thirstWith springs that never dry.
5. Rivers of love and mercy hereIn a rich ocean join;Salvation in abundance flows,Like floods of milk and wine.
6. The gates of glorious Gospel graceStand open night and day;Lord, we are come to seek supplies,And drive our wants away.
