- 1Sinners obey the gospel word,
- Haste to the supper of your Lord:
- Be wise to know your gracious day;
- All things are ready, come away.
- 2Ready the father is to own,
- And kiss his late returning son:
- Ready the loving Savior stands,
- And spreads for you his bleeding hands.
- 3Ready the spirit of his love,
- Is now, the stony heart to move;
- T' apply and witness Jesus' blood
- And wash and seal you sons of God.
- 4Ready for you the Angels wait,
- To triumph in your blest estate;
- Tuning their harps by which they praise,
- The wonders of redeeming grace.
- 5Come then ye sinners, to the Lord,
- To happiness in Christ restor'd;
- His proffer'd benefits embrace,
- The plenitude of gospel grace.
- 6O quit this world's delusive charms,
- And quickly fly to Jesus' arms;
- Wrestle until your God is known,
- Till you can call the Lord your own.
