Representative Text

1 Will you come one and all to the Lamb that was slain?
Will you come to his arms and be cleansed from all stain,
He invites you today,
Do not then stay away.

Chorus:
Blessed be the Lord, he invites you today,
Blessed be the Lord,
Blessed be the Lord,
Blessed be the Lord, he invites you today.

2 There's a work to be done, there's a cross you should bear,
There's a crown to be won, there's a crown you should wear,
He invites you today,
Do not then stay away. [Chorus]

3 You have friends who have gone to that haven of rest,
Whom you promised to meet in the land of the blest,
Do not then stay away,
He invites you today. [Chorus]
