Text:	Compel them to come in
Tune:	COMPEL THEM TO COME IN

1 Lord, how large thy bounties are,
Tender, gracious, sinners Friend!
What a feast dost thou prepare,
And what invitation's send!
Now fulfill thy great design,
Who did first the message bring:
Every heart to thee incline,
Now compel them to come in.

2 Rushing on the downward road,
Sinners no compulsion need;
While they turn from heaven and God,
See they run with rapid speed:
Stretch that conquering arm of thine,
Once stretch'd out to bleed for sin;
Every heart to thee incline,
Now compel them to come in.
