Come, sinner, to the gospel feast, O come without delay

Author: Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon
Published in 37 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Come, sinner, to the gospel feast;
Oh, come without delay;
For there is room in Jesus' breast
For all who will obey.

2 There's room in God's eternal love
To save thy precious soul;
Room in the Spirit's grace above
To heal and make thee whole.

3 There's room within the church, redeemed
With blood of Christ divine;
Room in the white-robed throng, convened
For that dear soul of thine.

4 There's room in heaven among the choir,
And harps and crowns of gold,
And glorious palms of victory there,
And joys that ne'er were told.

5 There's room around thy Father's board
For thee, and thousands more:
Oh, come and welcome to the Lord;
Yea, come this very hour.
