Blessèd Are They That Believe

Come to the fount­ain of mer­cy and live

Come

and a par­don re­ceive;

Drink of the wa­ter that Je­sus will give

Freely to those that be­lieve;

Weary and bur­dened with sor­row

Sweet is the mes­sage to thee

Learn of the meek and the low­ly

Come

hea­vy la­den to Me.

Come to the clear flow­ing riv­er

Drink of its wa­ters for­ev­er

Hungry and thirs­ty

O! nev­er

Blessèd are they that be­lieve!

Happy the na­tion whose God is the Lord;

Hearing in meek­ness and love

Counsels of wis­dom and truth in His Word

Looking for com­fort above;

He is their rock and sal­va­tion

He is their strength and their song

Onward from glo­ry to glo­ry

Leading them gent­ly along.

Look un­to Je­sus

ye re­gions of earth

Victor of death and the grave

Though He was hum­ble

and low­ly His birth

He is the migh­ty to save.

Why should we wan­der in dark­ness?

Why to the world should we cling?

Hope

like a bird

is be­fore us

Pluming her beau­ti­ful wing.
