As did our fathers, nor depart
From God to follow in their ways;
For with complaints instead of praise,
With doubt instead of faith confessed,

With erring heart, God's holy ways
And grieved Him all their sinful days;

Oh, come without delay;
For there is room in Jesus' breast
For all who will obey.
2 There's room in God's eternal love
To save thy precious soul;
Room in the Spirit's grace above
To heal and make thee whole.
3 There's room within the church, redeemed
With blood of Christ divine;
Room in the white-robed throng, convened
For that dear soul of thine.
4 There's room in heaven among the choir,
And harps and crowns of gold,
And glorious palms of victory there,
And joys that ne'er were told.
5 There's room around thy Father's board
For thee, and thousands more:
Oh, come and welcome to the Lord;
Yea, come this very hour.
Come, sinner, to the gospel feast; Oh, come without delay
