The Master commandeth his servants
To go and the message declare,
Not only a feast is provided,
But even the robe you shall wear;
A feast of his love and salvation,
A robe that is whiter than snow.
His righteousness, will you receive it?
Oh, surely you cannot say no.
Oh, come, for all things are now ready,
Oh, do not make light of the call;
For these are the words of the Master,
So urgently spoken to all.
You never can make yourselves better,
There's nothing remaining to do,
But come as you are to the Saviour,
And ask him to clothe you anew;
The debt of your sin he hath cancelled,
The blood of atonement is free;
The fountain of mercy he opened,
Availeth for you and for me.
Oh, come, for all things are now ready,
Oh, do not make light of the call;
For these are the words of the Master,
So urgently spoken to all.
Bat why are you making excuses?
Your moments, how swiftly they roll!
Your day of probation is closing,
And what will become of your soul
When summoned to stand at the judgment?
Excuses will there be in vain.
The voice that you now are refusing
Will never invite you again.
Oh, come, for all things are now ready,
Oh, do not make light of the call;
For these are the words of the Master,
So urgently spoken to all.
