LyicsOn Sion, his most holy mount,
God will a feast prepare,
And Israel's sons and Gentile lands
Shall in the banquet share.
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 given!
See rebels by adopting grace
Sit with the heirs of heaven!
The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now
To ease and health restor'd,
With eager appetites partake
The plenties of the board.
But O what draughts o bliss unknown,
What dainties shall be given,
When, with the myriads round the throne,
We join the feast of heaven!
There joys immeasurably high
Shall overflow the soul,
And springs of life, that never dry,
In thousand channels roll.
