Come, for all things are now ready.
Luke 14:17.
Come, sinners, to the gospel feast; O, do no longer stay; Let every soul be Jesus’ guest, O, do no longer stay away! CHORUS. O, do no longer stay away, For now your Saviour calls, And the gospel sounds the jubilee; O, do no longer stay away. | 2 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. | 3 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. | 4 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. | 5 This is the time—no more delay; The Saviour calls you all to-day: O may his call effectual prove! Accept the offers of his love! | |
