1 The King of heaven His table spreads,
And dainties crown the board.
Not all the boasted joys of earth
Could such delight afford.
2 Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are given;
And the rich Blood that Jesus shed
To raise the soul to heaven.
3 Ye hungry poor, who long have strayed
In sin’s dark mazes, come;
Come from the hedges and highways,
And Grace shall find you room.
4 Thousands of souls, in glory now,
Were fed and feasted here;
And thousands more, still on the way,
Around the board appear.
5 Yet are His house and heart so large,
That thousands more may come;
Nor could the wide assembled world
O’erfill the spacious room.
6 All things are ready: enter in,
Nor weak excuses frame.
Come, take your places at the feast,
And bless the Founder’s Name.
