LyicsYe wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast;
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, he bids you come.
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room-
Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart:
There love and pity meet,
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.
And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come.
Ye longing souls, the grace adore;
Approach-there yet is room.
