All that pass by, To Jesus draw near, <br />He utters a cry, Ye sinners, give ear! <br />From hell to retrieve you He spreads out his hands; <br />Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands. <br /> <br />If any man thirst, And happy would be, <br />The vilest and worst May come unto me, <br />May drink of my Spirit, Excepted is none, <br />Lay claim to my merit, And take for his own. <br /> <br />Whoever receives The life-giving word, <br />In Jesus believes, His God and his Lord, <br />In him a pure river Of life shall arise, <br />Shall in the believer Spring up to the skies. <br /> <br />My God and my Lord! Thy call I obey, <br />My soul on thy word Of promise I stay, <br />Thy kind invitation I gladly embrace, <br />Athirst for salvation, Salvation by grace. <br /> <br />O hasten the hour! Send down from above <br />The Spirit of power, Of health, and of love, <br />Of filial fear, Of knowledge and grace, <br />Of wisdom and prayer, Of joy and of praise; <br />The Spirit of faith, Of faith in thy blood, <br />Which saves us from wrath, And brings us to God, <br />Removes the huge mountain Of indwelling sin, <br />And opens a fountain That washes us clean.<br /><br />John Wesley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-iii-all-that-pass-by-to-jesus-draw-near/
