     1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. 2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. 4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass. 7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

     10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.(KJV)

1. The Savior calls; let every ear 
Attend the heavenly sound. 
Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear; 
Hope smiles reviving round. 

2. For every thirsty, Ionging heart 
Here streams of bounty flow 
And life and health and bliss impart 
To banish mortal woe. 

3. Here springs of sacred pleasures rise 
To ease your every pain; 
Immortal fountain, full supplies! 
Nor shall you thirst in vain. 

4. Ye sinners, come, ’tis Mercy’s voice; 
The gracious call obey; 
Mercy invites to heavenly joys, 
And can you yet delay? 

5. Dear Savior, draw reluctant hearts; 
To Thee let sinners fly 
And take the bliss Thy love imparts 
And drink and never die.
