Come, sinners, to the gospel feast

186 Uxbridge. L. M.

1 COME, sinners, to the gospel feast,
   Let every soul be Jesus’ guest;
   Ye need not one be left behind,
   For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
   The invitation is to all:
   Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou!
   All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppressed,
   Ye restless wanderers after rest,
   Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
   In Christ a hearty welcome find.

4 His love is mighty to compel;
   His conquering love consent to feel,
   Yield to His love’s resistless power,
   And fight against your God no more.

5 This is the time; no more delay!
   This is the Lord’s accepted day;
   Come in, this moment, at His call,
   And live for Him who died for all.
