The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7818

7818. Ye Thirsty for God

1. Ye thirsty for God, to Jesus give ear,
And take, through His blood, a power to draw near;
His kind invitation ye sinners embrace,
Accepting salvation, salvation by grace.

2. Sent down from above, who governs the skies,
In vehement love to sinners He cries,
Drink into My Spirit, who happy would be,
And all things inherit by coming to Me.

3. O Savior of all, Thy Word we believe!
And come at Thy call, Thy grace to receive;
The blessing is given wherever Thou art.
The earnest of Heaven is love in the heart.

4. To us at Thy feet the Comforter give,
Who gasp to admit Thy Spirit, and live;
The weakest believers acknowledge for Thine,
And fill us with rivers of water divine.
