Author: W. C. Martin Hymnal: Sunday School Voices, No.2 #55 (1913) First Line: The table of the King is spread Refrain First Line: Go into the highways, invite in Jesus' name Lyrics: 1 The table of the King is spread With holy wine and living bread; The door is open unto all, And lovingly he sounds his call. Chorus: Go into the highways, invite in Jesus’ name; Seek under the hedges the poor, the blind, the lame. Song and joy await them at Jesus’ banquet hall,— Go into the highways and sweetly bid them all. 2 The sweetest joy a heart may know Is found where living waters flow; And pleasures that can never die The gracious King will there supply. [Chorus] 3 Let love alone, in accents sweet, The King’s most gracious call repeat, And those who know the living way Conduct the guests without delay. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [The table of the King is spread]
