The Spirit in our hearts,Is whispering, "Sinner, come;"The holy Bride of Christ proclaimsTo all her children, "Come!"

2

Let him that heareth sayTo all about him, "Come!"Let him that thirsts for righteousnessTo Christ, the Fountain, come.

3

Yes, whosoever will,O let him freely come,And freely drink the stream of life;'Tis Jesus bids him come.

4

Lo! Jesus, who invites,Declares, "I quickly come:"Lord, even so, we wait thy hour;O blest Redeemer, come.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «405» (large) with the reference line «732, 236.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 732 or 236); the hymn opens the right column of p. 131 and ends with «Henry Onderdonk.» in italics. The first word «THE» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «; ! :» and inside the quotation marks («" Sinner, come ; "», «" Come ! "», «life ;», «hour ;», «come : "»); it is closed up here. The printer's curly quotation marks and apostrophe are written straight («"Sinner, come;"», «'Tis»). Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's («Bride», «Fountain», «Redeemer»). No meter is printed (the text is S. M., 6.6.8.6, like the tunes of the reference line).
