Let Every Mortal Ear Attend

Verse 1

Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice,
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.

Verse 2

Ho, all ye hungry starving souls,
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind,

Verse 3

Eternal wisdom has prepar’d
A soul reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.

Verse 6

Ye perishing and naked poor,
Who work with mighty pain
To weave a garment of your own
That will not hide your sin,

Verse 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.

Verse 8

Dear God, the treasures of thy love
Are everlasting mines,
Deep as our helpless miseries are,
And boundless as our sins.

Verse 9

The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day,
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.
