Come to Calvary’s Holy Mountain
This Sunday’s Lenten Hymn for your reflection.
Come to Calv’ry’s holy mountain, Sinners ruined by the Fall;
Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all.
In a full, perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died.
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; Ye shall walk with God in light.
Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent and blind;
Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find.
Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more.
He that drinks 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.
(The Lutheran Hymnal #149)
