Lyics

Come, sinners, to the gospel feast,

Let every soul be Jesus guest;

You need not one be left behind,

For God has bidden all mankind.



Hark!  'tis the Saviour's gracious call,

The invitation is to all;

Come, all the world - come, sinner thou,

All things in Christ are ready now.



Come, all you souls by sin oppressed,

You weary wanderers after rest;

You poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,

In Christ a hearty welcome find.



The message, as from God, receive,

You all may come to Christ and live;

O let his love your hearts constrain,

Nor suffer him to call in vain.



This is the time - no more delay;

The Saviour calls you all today:

O may his call effectual prove!

Accept the offers of his love!
