XVI. Invitation

1 Come Sinners, to the gospel Feast,
Let ev'ry Soul be Jesus' Guest;
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bid all Mankind.

2 "Have me excus'd," why will you say?
From Health, and Life, and Liberty;
From all that is in Jesus given,
From Pardon, Holiness and Heaven.

3 Come then ye Souls by Sin opprest,
Ye weary wanderers after Rest:
Ye Poor and Maimed, Halt and Blind,
In Christ a hearty Welcome find.

4 See him set forth before your Eyes,
Behold the bleeding Sacrifice;
His offer'd Love let all embrace,
And freely now be sav'd by Grace.

5 Ye who believe his Record true,
Shall sup with him and he with you:
Come to the Feast, be sav'd from Sin,
For Jesus waits. to take you in.

6 This is the Time, no more Delay,
This is the glorious gospel Day;
Come in this Moment at his Call,
And live to him, who dy'd for all.
