Gospel Invitation. Song. 5. 1; Isa. 55. 1-3
[Let every open ear attend,
And broken heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice.]
2
Jesus, my God, I know his name, His name is all my trust; Nor will he put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope be lost.
2
Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind;
3
Firm as his throne his promise stands, And he can well secure What I’ve committed to his hands, Till the decisive hour.
3
Eternal Wisdom has prepared 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.

Come, guilty souls, and flee away
To Christ, and heal your wounds; This is the welcome gospel-day Wherein free grace abounds.
2
God loved the church, and gave his Son To drink the cup of wrath; And Jesus says he’ll cast out none
