Ho! Ye That Thirst

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring Lyrics: 1 Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring where living waters flow; free to that sacred fountain all without a price may go. How long to streams of false delight will ye in crowds repair? How long your strength and substance waste on trifles light as air? 2 My stores afford those rich supplies that health and pleasure give; incline your ear, and come to Me; the soul that hears shall live. With you a cov’nant I will make that ever shall endure; the hope which gladdened David’s heart My mercy hath made sure. 3 Behold He comes! your Leader comes, with might and honor crowned; a Witness who shall spread My Name to earth’s remotest bound. See! nations hasten to His call from every distant shore; isles, yet unknown, shall bow to Him, and Israel’s God adore. 4 Seek ye the LORD while yet His ear is open to your call; while offered mercy still is near, before His footstool fall. Let sinners quit their evil ways, their evil thoughts forego, and God, when they to Him return, returning grace will show. 5 With joy and peace shall then be led the glad converted lands; the lofty mountains then shall sing, the forests clap their hands. Where briers grew ‘midst barren wilds, shall firs and myrtles spring; and nature, thro' its utmost bounds, eternal praises sing.

We Built a Sanctuary Sure

Author: Harold Humbert Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We built a sanctuary sure; it stands on sacred sod. A church erected to endure, the temple of our God. We come to worship in this place with aspiration high; it is the consecrated place, where God himself draws nigh. 2 The church is God’s abiding place, his altar is within, and here by faith we see God’s face, are cleansed from stain of sin. A sanctuary for the soul, where love can cast our fear, where broken spirits are made whole, for God himself is here. 3 Around Christ’s table we commune in fellowship supreme; inspired by Christ, through word and tune, of things divine we dream. Forth from this sacred place we go with challenge in each soul to love, to lift, to build, to grow. God’s kingdom is our goal.
