Hymnal: The Psalm-singer's amusement #89 (1781) Incipit: 11765 43232 12345 First Line: Let ev'ry mortal ear attend Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry mortal Ear attend,
and ev'ry heart rejoice,
the Trumpet of the Gospel sounds,
with an inviting voice.
Hark Hark hear the Invitation
Ho every one that thirsteth
come ye to the waters
and he that hath no money
come ye buy and eat
come buy Wine and Milk
without Money and without Price
for wherefore do you spend your Money
for that which is not Bread
and your Labor for that which satisfieth
Hark Hark hear the Invitation
Ho ev'ry one that thirsteth
come ye to the Waters
and whosoever will let him come
let him come and take
the Waters of Life freely
even so come Lord Jesus come quickly
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 prepar'd
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 prepar'd by God,
Wrought by the Labours of his Son,
and dy'd in his own Blood.
8 Dear Lord! 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. Topics: Communion Scripture: Isaiah 55 Languages: English Tune Title: [Let ev'ry mortal ear attend]
