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.
