Lyrics

Ho! every one that thirsteth, come and drink,
For the crystal tide is flowing free today;
There is pardon in the fountain of His love;
Drink ye freely of it while you may.

Refrain

Come and drink the precious tide,
Flowing freely from the Master’s love;
Come and drink, come and drink;
Drink the life that cometh from above.

Ho! every one that thirsteth, come and drink;
There is healing in the stream for all who come;
Wonderful its power to cleanse from every ill;
Jesus speaks the word, and it is done.

Refrain

Ho! every one that thirsteth, come and drink;
Drink the sacred tide before you turn away;
From the fountain of the Savior’s loving heart,
It is offered free to all today.

Refrain
