Gospel Invitation. Song. 5. 1; Isa. 55. 1-3

1 [Let every open ear attend,
  And broken heart rejoice;
  The trumpet of the gospel sounds
  With an inviting voice.]

2 Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls,
  That feed upon the wind,
  And vainly strive with earthly toys
  To fill an empty mind;

3 Eternal Wisdom has prepared
  A soul-reviving feast;
  And bids your longing appetites
  The rich provision taste.

4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
  And pine away and die;
  Here you may quench your raging thirst,
  With springs that never dry.

5 Rivers of love and mercy here
  In a rich ocean join;
  Salvation in abundance flows,
  Like floods of milk and wine.

6 [Ye perishing and naked poor,
  Who work with mighty pain
  To weave a garment of your own
  That will not hide your sin;

7 Come naked, and adorn your souls
  In robes prepared by God,
  Wrought by the labours of his Son,
  And dyed in his own blood.]

8 Dear God! the treasures of thy love
  Are everlasting mines;
  Deep as our helpless miseries are,
  And boundless as our sins!

9 The happy gates of gospel grace
  Stand open night and day;
  Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
  And drive our wants away.
