Tune: | [Hear the gospel proclamation] |
Composer: | E. O. Excell |
1 Hear the gospel proclamation,
Sounding out o’er land and sea;
Hear God’s tender invitation,
Christ has died on Calvary.
Ho, earth’s thirsting sons and daughters,
She has nothing you to give;
Come ye to the living waters,
To love’s fountain, drink and live.
Refrain:
Hear the gospel proclamation,
Hear the silver trumpet’s call;
Here flows free, a full salvation,
Christ has died to save us all.
2 Stray no more on earth’s dark mountain,
Where eternal shadows lie;
Hasten, lost ones, to the fountain,
On the wings of morning fly;
God will cast your sins behind Him,
‘Tis His spirit brooding here;
“Seek the Lord while ye may find Him,
Call upon Him while He’s near.” [Refrain]
3 Ah, say not, “We have no money!”
Take, O take you His advice;
Grapes of Eshcol, Canaan’s honey,
Without money, without price,
All upon His mercy flinging,
Kind and gracious as He stands;
Earth shall break forth into singing,
And the trees shall clap their hands. [Refrain]
