1 Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Behold a royal feast!
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
2 See, Jesus stands with open arms;
He calls, He bids you come:
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room.
3 Room in the Savior’s bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will He bid the soul depart
That trembles at His feet.
4 In Him, the Father reconciled
Invites your souls to come;
The rebel shall be called a child,
And kindly welcomed home.
5 O come, and with His children taste
The blessings of His love;
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.
6 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th’eternal throne,
Ten thousand, thousand souls rejoice,
In ecstasies unknown.
7 And yet ten thousand, thousand more,
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing souls, the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room.
