Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #VI (1801) Lyrics: 1 Come and taste, along with me,
Consolations running free,
From my Father's wealthy throne,
Sweeter than the honey-comb.
2 Wherefore should I feast alone,
Two are better still than one;
The more comes in with a free, good will.
Makes the banquet sweeter still.
3 Now I go to heaven's door
Asking for a little more;
Jesus gives a double share,
Calling me, his chosen heir.
4 Goodness running like a stream,
Through the new Jerusalem,
And by constant breaking forth,
Sweetens earth, and heaven both.
5 Saints in glory sing aloud,
For to see and hear of God!
Coming in at heaven's door.
Making of the number more.
6 Now my body doth its best,
For to keep me back from Christ;
But a treasure coming in,
Doth oppose my inbred sin.
7 Sinful nature, lurking vice;
Cannot stop the force of grace;
Whilst there is a God to give,
And a sinner to receive.
8 Heavens here and heavens there,
Comforts flowing every where!
This I boldly do profess
That my soul hath got a taste.
9 Now I go rejoicing home
From the banquet of perfume!
Finding manna on the road,
Dropping from the mount of God!
