The Psalms of David ‎#H54

H54. The King of heaven his table spreads

1 The King of heaven his table spreads,
And blessings crown the board;
Not paradise, with all its joys,
Could such delight afford.

2 Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are giv'n.
Thro' the rich blood that Jesus shed,
To raise the souls to heav'n

3 Ye hungry poor, who long have stray'd
In sin’s dark mazes, come;
Come, from your most obscure retreats
And grace shall find you room.

4 Millions of souls, in glory now,
Were fed, and feasted here;
And millions more, still on the way,
Around the board appear.

5 All things are ready, come away,
Nor weak excuses frame;
Assume your places at the feast,
And bless the founder’s name.
