Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

(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 poverty and meanness,
come defiled, without, within;
from infection and uncleanness,
from the leprosy of sin,
wash your robes and make them white;
you shall walk with God in light.

3.

Come in sorrow and contrition,
wounded, paralyzed, and blind;
here the guilty, free remission,
here the troubled, peace may find.
Health this fountain will restore;
they that drink shall thirst no more.

4.

They that drink shall live forever;
'tis a soul-renewing flood.
God is faithful; God will never
break his covenant of blood,
signed when our Redeemer died,
sealed when he was glorified.

This hymn is in the public domain.
