Daughters of Sion, ye who sing
The lofty praises of your King:
Who in his solemn temple dwell,
And of his boundless glory tell:
Call to the converts at your gate,
Why should they longer lingering wait?
Why should they longer fear or doubt?
Why should they longer stay without?
Gently reprove them for delay;
In softest language chide their stay;
Strive with your songs their hearts to win;
Ye blessed of the Lord, come in!
Come in, ye blessed of the Lord,
Ye that believe his holy word;
Come, and receive his heavenly bread—
The food with which his saints are fed.
Your Saviour's boundless goodness prove,
And feast on his redeeming love:
Come, all ye happy souls, that thirst;
The last is welcome as the first.
Come to his table, and receive
Whate'er a pard'ning God can give!
His love through ev'ry age endures;
His promise and himself are yours.
