Let Every Mortal Ear Attend
MARLOW-Rev. John Chetham, Book of Psalmody, 1718
BALERMA-Scottish trad
Let Every Mortal Ear Attend
1 Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds,
With an inviting voice.
2 Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls,
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill Th'immortal mind,
3 Eternal wisdom has prepared
A soul reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die
Here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.
5 Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows
Like floods of milk and wine.
6 The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day;
Lord-we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.
