LyicsTHE King of heav'n His table spreads,
And dainties crown the board;
Not paradise, with all its joys,
Could such delights afford.
Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are giv'n,
Through the rich blood that Jesus shed,
To raise our souls to heav'n.
You hungry poor, that long have stray'd,
In sin's dark mazes, come;
Come from your most obscure retreat,
And grace shall find you room.
All things are ready; come away,
Nor weak excuses from;
Crowd to your places at the feast,
And bless the Founder's name.
