Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain
James Montgomery (1819) • English
Primary Scripture: Isaiah 12:3
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
