4 O come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love,
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.
5 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th’ eternal throne,
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice
In ecstasies unknown.
6 And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing souls, the grace adore;
Approach—there yet is room.
294 C. M.
In this mountain shall the Lord, etc.
Isaiah 25:6.
The King of heaven his table spreads,
And dainties crown the board;
Not paradise, with all its joys,
Could such delights afford.
2 Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are given,
Through the rich blood that Jesus shed,
To raise our souls to heaven.
3 You hungry poor, that long have strayed
In sin’s dark mazes, come;
Come from your most obscure retreat,
And grace shall find you room.
4 Millions of souls in glory now
Were fed and feasted here;
And millions more still on the way
Around the board appear.
5 Yet are his heart and house so large
That millions more may come:
Nor could the whole assembled world
O’erfill the spacious room.
6 All things are ready: come away,
Nor weak excuses frame;
Crowd to your places at the feast,
And bless the Founder’s name.
295 C. M.
None excluded.
Jesus, thy blessings are not few,
Nor is thy gospel weak;
Thy grace can melt the stubborn Jew,
And heal the dying Greek.
2 Wide as the reach of Satan’s rage
Doth thy salvation flow;
’Tis not confined to sex nor age,
The lofty nor the low.
3 While grace is offered to the prince,
The poor may take his share;
No mortal has a just pretense
To perish in despair.
4 Come, all ye wretched sinners, come,
He’ll form your souls anew;
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.
5 His doctrine is almighty love;
There’s virtue in his name
To turn the raven to a dove,
The lion to a lamb.
296 C. M. peculiar.
Draw nigh to God, etc.
James 4:8.
Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery:
Return, return!
2 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
’Tis Jesus calls for thee;
The Spirit and the Bride say—come;
O! now for refuge flee;
Return, return!
3 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
’Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy’s day:
Return, return!
