Lyics

THE King of heaven 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 given;

Through the rich blood that Jesus shed

To raise the soul to heaven.



Millions of souls in glory now;

Were fed and feasted here;

And millions more still on the way,

Around the board appear.



All things are ready, come away,

Let saints partake the same:

Come take your places at the feast,

And bless the founder's name.
