Ye who have felt you need of grace
Behold the gospel feast,
Where Jesus has prepared a place
For every humble guest.
In our Redeemer’s gracious heart,
Goodness and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.
In Him the Father reconciled,
Invites you too to come;
The rebel shall be called a child,
And kindly welcom’d home.
Oh, come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love,
Expecting, when this world is passed,
A nobler life above.
There, with united heart and voice,
Before th’ eternal throne,
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice,
In bliss to us unknown.
And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come;
O sinners, God’s free grace adore,
And prove there yet is room.
