96. Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows for you, for me, for all,
In a full perpetual tide,
Opened when our Savior died.

2 Come in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the troubled, peace may find.
Your true health it will restore,
So that you need thirst no more.

3 Come with hurts and guilts and meanness,
Come, however soiled within;
From the most ingrained uncleanness,
From pollution by your sin,
Wash your robes and make them white;
You shall walk with God in light.

4 Take the life that lasts forever;
Trust this soul-renewing flood.
God is faithful; God will never
Break his covenant of blood,
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when he was glorified.
