A Pocket Hymn Book ‎#V

V. Sinners, obey the gospel word!

1 Sinners obey the gospel word!
Haste to the supper of my 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 Saviuor stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.

3 Ready the spirit of his love,
Just now the stony to remove;
T' apply, and witness with the blood,
And wash, and seal the 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 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Are ready with their shining host:
All heav'n is ready to resound,
"The Dead's alive! the Lost is found."

6 Come then, ye sinners, to the Lord,
In Christ to paradise restor'd:
His proffer'd benefits embrace,
The plenitude of gospel-grace.
