16376. Feast Of Blessing

1 Blest are the hun­gry; they shall be fed;
Jesus a feast has kind­ly spread;
Come and re­ceive; on­ly believe;
Jesus will free­ly, free­ly give.

Refrain:
All things are rea­dy—come and see;
Ready for you, rea­dy for me;
O what a feast of rich­est bless­ing,
Crowned with a Sav­ior’s love!

2 Out in the high­way, go and pro­claim
Welcome to all in Je­sus’ name;
Bread to the poor, bread ev­er­more,
Jesus will free­ly, free­ly give. [Refrain]

3 Sweet in­vi­ta­tion! How can we slight
Him who will make our path so bright?
All we re­quire, all our de­sire,
Jesus will free­ly, free­ly give. [Refrain]
