257. C. M. Watts.

The Gospel Trumpet.

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 an empty 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 The happy gates of gospel grace

Stand open night and day;

Lord, we are come to seek supplies,

And drive our wants away.
