1 Blest are the hungry; they shall be fed;
Jesus a feast has kindly spread;
Come and receive; only believe;
Jesus will freely, freely give.

Refrain:
All things are ready—come and see;
Ready for you, ready for me;
O what a feast of richest blessing,
Crowned with a Savior’s love!

2 Out in the highway, go and proclaim
Welcome to all in Jesus’ name;
Bread to the poor, bread evermore,
Jesus will freely, freely give. [Refrain]

3 Sweet invitation! How can we slight
Him who will make our path so bright?
All we require, all our desire,
Jesus will freely, freely give. [Refrain]
