The Spi­rit and the Bride say, Come
And take the wa­ter of life!
O bless­èd call! Good news to all
Who tire of sin and strife!

Refrain

The Spi­rit says, Come!
The Bride says, Come
And take of the wa­ter of life free­ly.
The Spi­rit says, Come!
The Bride says, Come
And take of the wa­ter of life free­ly.

Let ev­ery one who hears say, Come!
And joy­ful wit­ness give;
I heard the sound, the stream I found,
I drank, and now I live.

Refrain

Ye souls who are athirst, for­sake
Your brok­en cis­terns first;
Then come, par­take; one draught will slake
Your soul’s con­sum­ing thirst.

Refrain

Yea, who­so­ev­er will may come:
Your long­ings Christ can fill;
The stream is free to you and me,
And who­so­ev­er will.
