"Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain" by James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Text From: THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942), pp. 117 1. Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the Fall; Here a pureand healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full, perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 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; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3. 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. 4. 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. __________________________________ Notes: Hymn #149 from The Handbook to TLH Text: Matt. 11: 28 Author: by James Montgomery, 1891 Composer: Ludwig M.
