1Come, sinners to the Gospel feast;
Let every soul be Jesu's guest;
Ye need not one be left behind;
For God hath bidden all mankind.
2Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
The invitation is to all:
Come all the world: come, sinner thou!
All things in Christ are ready now.
3Come all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye restless wanderers after rest;
Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
From Christ a hearty welcome find.
4Come, and parktake the gospel feast,
Be saved from sin; in Jesus rest:
O taste the goodness of your God,
And eat his flesh, and drink his blood.
5Ye vagrant souls, on you I call;
(O that my voice could reach you all!)
Ye all are freely justified;
Ye all may live: for God hath died.
6My message as from God recieve:
Ye all may come to Christ and live:
O let his love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer Him to die in vain!
7His love is mighty to compel:
His conquering love consent to feel:
Yield to his love's resistless power;
And fight against your God no more.
8See him set forth before your eyes,
That precious, bleeding sacrifice!
His offered benefits embrace,
And freely now be saved by grace!
9This is the time: no more delay!
This is your acceptable day:
Come in, this moment, at his call,
And live for him who died for all!
