HYMN 56. C.M.
Invitation. (cont.)
7 |
Ye longing souls, the grace adore;
Approach, there yet is room.
|
HYMN 57. C.M.
Invitation.
1 |
THE King of heav'n his table spreads,
And blessings crown the board;
Not Paradise, with all its joys,
Could such delight afford.
|
2 |
Pardon and peace to dying men,
And endless life are giv'n;
Thro' the rich blood that Jesus shed,
To raise our souls to heav'n.
|
3 |
Ye hungry poor, that long have strayed
In sin's dark mazes, come;
Come, from your most obscure retreats,
And grace shall find you room.
|
4 |
Millions of souls, in glory now,
Were fed and feasted here;
And millions more, still on the way,
Around the board appear.
|
5 |
All things are ready, come away,
Nor weak excuses frame;
Crowd to your places at the feast,
And bless the Founder's name.
|
HYMN 58. L.M.
Invitation.
1 |
COME in, ye blessed of the Lord,
Ye that believe his holy word;
Come, and receive his heav'nly bread,
The food, with which his saints are fed.
|
2 |
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.

Invitation. (cont.)
3 |
Come to his table, and receive
Whate'er a pard'ning God can give;
His love thro' ev'ry age endures;
His promise and himself are yours.
|
HYMN 59. P.M.
Invitation - It is finished.
1 |
HARK! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary;
See! it rends the rocks asunder,
Shakes the earth and veils the sky!
"It is finish'd!"
Hear the dying Saviour cry.
|
2 |
It is finish'd! O what pleasure
Do these precious words afford!
Heav'nly blessings, without measure,
Flow to us from Christ the Lord:
It is finish'd!
Saints, the dying words record.
|
3 |
Finish'd, all the types and shadows
Of the ceremonial law!
Finish'd, all that God had promis'd;
Death and hell no more shall awe:
It is finish'd!
Saints, from hence your comfort draw.
|
4 |
Happy souls, approach the table,
Taste the soul-reviving food!
Nothing's half so sweet and pleasant,
As the Saviour's flesh and blood.
It is finish'd!
Christ has borne the heavy load.
|
5 |
Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs,
Join to sing the pleasing theme;
All on earth, and all in heav'n,
Join to praise Immanuel's name
