Hymns of the Lutheran Church

106 Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

1 Come to Calv'ry'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 infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; You shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, paralyzed, 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.
