Come and partake the gospel feast, be saved from sin, in Jesus rest; O taste the goodness of our God, and eat his flesh and drink his blood. 4. See him set forth before your eyes; behold the bleeding sacrifice; his offered love make haste to embrace, and freely now be saved by grace. 5.

We never will throw off the fear of God who hears our vow; and if thou art well pleased to hear, come down and meet us now. 3.

High o’er all the heavens he reigneth, yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. 2 Sun, who all my life dost brighten; Light, who dost my soul enlighten; Joy, the best that any knoweth; Fount, whence all my being floweth; at thy feet I cry, my Maker, let me be a fit partaker of this blessed food from heaven, for our good, thy glory, given. 3 Jesus, bread of life, I pray thee, let me gladly here obey thee; never to my hurt invited, be thy love with love requited. From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; through the gifts thou here dost give me, as thy guest in heaven receive me.
