Book III · Hymn 94

John Newton

Not to Sinai's dreadful blaze,
Heb 12:18,22

But to Zion's throne of grace,
By a way marked out with blood,
Sinners now approach to God.
Not to hear the fiery Law,
But with humble joy to draw

Water, by that well supplied,
Isa 12:3

JESUS opened when he died.
LORD, there are no streams but thine,
Can assuage a thirst like mine!
'Tis a thirst thyself didst give,

Let me therefore drink and live.
