Author: Matthew Wilks Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8678 Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Jesu’s precious name excels Lyrics: 1 Jesu’s precious name excels Jordan’s streams, and Salem’s wells; Thirsty sinners, come and draw, Quench the flames of Sinai’s law. 2 Fearful sinners, come and try— Draw and drink with inward joy; Christ is fresh, and full, and free; Sinners, come, whoe’er you be. 3 See the waters springing up, To revive your languid hope; Fill your vessels, as it rolls, And refresh your weary souls. 4 Lo! the Spirit now invites! Lo! the happy Bride unites! Jesus calls, be not afraid, Lo! for you the well was made! 5 Justice made it in the Lamb, Mercy grants it thro’ His name; Faith receives a full supply; Those who drink it cannot die. 6 Careless sinner, let me tell, Not a drop is found in hell; Not a drop to ease your smart, Not a drop to cool your heart. 7 Haste you to the Lamb of God, Seek salvation in His blood; In it there is boundless store, For ten thousand thousands more. 8 Constant tributes let us bring, For this soul refreshing spring; Constant let our praises rise, ’Till we drink above the skies.
