THE INVITATION.

By E. Booth

Air.—Eden above.

There is a pure fountain, where bright sparkling waters, Still gently are flowing for you and for me, While clear-toned and deep is the sweet voice that utters, Come ye, and drink, while its waters are free. Will you come, will you come, will you come, will you come, O say, will you come and drink them with me?

Soon the fount will be closed, and bitterest anguish, You’ll feel if you taste not its waters before. Other waters you drink and still faintingly languish, But here, if you drink, you’ll thirst nevermore. Will you come, &c.

Only here can be found the true life elixir, To be bought without money, and bought without price. O come then and drink of salvation’s pure mixture, Till this world of sin can no longer entice. Will you come, &c.

E. BOOTH.
