Text: | Come, Sinners, to the Gospel Feast |
Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | HURSLEY |
1 Come, sinners, to the gospel feast,
let every soul be Jesus' guest.
Ye need not one be left behind,
for God hath bid all humankind.
2 Do not begin to make excuse;
ah! do not you his grace refuse;
your worldly cares and pleasures leave,
and take what Jesus hath to give.
3 Come and partake the gospel feast,
be saved from sin, in Jesus rest;
O taste the goodness of our God,
and eat his flesh and drink his blood.
4 See him set forth before your eyes;
behold the bleeding sacrifice;
his offered love make haste to embrace,
and freely now be saved by grace.
5 Ye who believe his record true
shall sup with him and he with you;
come to the feast, be saved from sin,
for Jesus waits to take you in.
