LyicsOn Zion, his own holy mount,
God has a feast prepar'd,
And Israel's sons and Gentile lands
Have in the banquet shared.
Marrow and fatness are the food
His bounteous hand bestows;
Wine on the lees, and well refin'd,
In rich abundance flows.
See to the vilest of the vile
A free acceptance giv'n!
See rebels by adopting grace
Sit with the heirs of heav'n!
The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now
To ease and health restor'd,
With eager appetites partake
The dainties of the board.
But O! what pleasant draughts unknown
What dainties shall be giv'n,
When with the myriads round the throne,
We join the feast of heav'n!
There joys immeasurably high
Shall overflow the soul;
And springs of life, that never dry
In thousand channels roll.
