1 Will you come to the feast?
Will you sup with the Lord?
He will welcome the least
To his bountiful board;
There's enough and to spare, and right royal the fare,
Will you come, one and all to the feast?
Chorus:
Will you come, will you come,
Will you come to the feast?
For the world there is room,
Lo! the King will preside, for each guest will provide,
Will you come, will you come to the feast?
2 Will you come and be fed
By our Saviour and Lord?
With our great King and head?
Will you sit at the board?
He invites you today, dare you longer delay?
Is there one who will dare to say nay? [Chorus]
3 Open wide is the door
To the banqueting hall
Are you hungry and poor?
There is food for you all;
Come and sup with the King with our Prophet and Priest,
Come, oh, come, one and all, to the feast? [Chorus]
