LyicsCome, sinners, to the gospel feast;
Oh, do no longer stay!
Let every soul be Jesus' guest,
Oh, do no longer stay away!
You need not one be left behind;
Oh, do no longer stay!
For God has bidden all mankind,
Oh, do no longer stay away!
Oh, do no longer stay away,
For now your Savior calls,
The gospel sounds the jubilee,
Oh, do no longer stay away.
Hark! 't is the gracious Savior's call:
Oh do no longer stay!
The invitation is to all:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Come, all the world--come, sinner, thou--
Oh do no longer stay!
All things in Christ are ready now:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Come, all you souls by sin oppressed:
Oh do no longer stay!
You weary wanderers after rest,
Oh do no longer stay away!
You poor and maimed, and halt and blind,
Oh do no longer stay!
In Christ a hearty welcome find:
Oh do no longer stay away!
The message, as from God, receive:
Oh do no longer stay!
You all may come to Christ and live:
Oh do no longer stay away!
Oh let his love your hearts constrain:
Oh do no longer stay!
Nor suffer him to call in vain:
Oh do no longer stay away!
This is the time--no more delay,
Oh do no longer stay!
The Savior calls you all to-day,
Oh do no longer stay away!
Oh may his call effectual prove,
Oh do no longer stay!
Accept the offers of his love,
Oh do no longer stay away!
