Hymn
Come, Sinners, to the Gospel Feast
- Writer
- Charles Wesley
Come, sinners, to the gospel feast,
Let every soul be Jesus' guest;
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.
Sent by my Lord, on you I call,
The invitation is to all;
Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou;
All things in Christ are ready now.
Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye restless wanderers after rest,
Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.
My message as from God receive;
Ye all may come to Christ, and live;
O let His love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer Him to die in vain!
His love is mighty to compel;
His conquering love consent to feel;
Yield to His love's resistless power,
And fight against your God no more.
