A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CXLV

CXLV. Invitation

1 Sinners, obey the gospel word,
Haste to the supper of your Lord:
Be wise to know your gracious day;
All things are ready, come away.

2 Ready the father is to own,
And kiss his late returning son:
Ready the loving Saviour stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.

3 Ready the spirit of his love,
Is now, the stony heart to move;
T' apply, and witness with that blood
And wash, and seal you sons of God.

4 Ready for you the angels wait,
To triumph in your blest estate:
Tuning their harps, they long to praise,
The wonders of redeeming grace.

5 Come then ye sinners, to the Lord,
To happiness in Christ restor'd;
His profer'd benefits embrace,
And taste the fulnes of his grace.
