Full many shall come
from the east and the west
And sit at the feast of salvation,
With Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob the blest,
Obeying the Lord’s invitation.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
But they who have always
resisted His grace
And on their own virtue depended
Shall then be condemned
and cast out from His face,
Eternally lost and unfriended.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
May we too give heed
when our Savior doth call
In accents persuasive and tender,
And may we be guests
at His feast, one and all,
Our praise and obeisance to render.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
Oh, that we the throng
of the ransomed may swell,
To whom He hath granted remission!
God graciously make us
in heaven to dwell
And save us from endless perdition.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
God grant that I may
of His infinite love
Remain in His merciful keeping
And sit with the King at His table above
When here in the grave
I am sleeping.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
Then ended will be,
like a dream that is past,
All trial and trouble and sorrow;
All questions and doubts
will be answered at last,
When dawneth eternity’s morrow.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
Then heaven will ring
with an anthem more grand
Than ever on earth was recorded,
When all of the saved
shall receive at His hand
The crown to the victors awarded.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
