Come! and thy every want
He will supply;
Come thou! and all good things
Moneyless buy.

Come unto Him for love
Faithful and true!
Come for the strength wherewith
He will endue.

Come for the joy that words
Cannot express!
Come! for no other friend
Like Him can bless.

Come for the living bread,
For water pure,
For the sustaining meat
That shall endure!

Come for the light of life,
Bask in its beams!
Come for reality,
Ending thy dreams!

Glory hath He that thou
Canst not conceive;
Yet sweet, rich foretaste now
Thou shall receive.

Where canst thou find such bliss
Apart from Him'!
Come! take these priceless gifts!
Come unto Him!

The Spirit and the Bride
Bid thee to come.
Come, and be satisfied!
Come! Come! oh come!
