Are You Coming to the Feast?

lyricist: Isaac McHose, 1897
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

There’s a feast now await­ing

Prepared by lov­ing hands

In the midst of the ban­quet

The gen­tle Sav­ior stands;

Then no long­er go rov­ing

O’er des­erts bare and wild

See! the Fa­ther now is wait­ing

To greet His wea­ry child.

You’re in­vit­ed

are you com­ing?

O ac­cept the in­vi­ta­tion;

All things are rea­dy

come;

You’re in­vit­ed

are you com­ing?

See the Fa­ther now is wait­ing

To wel­come wan­der­ers home.

Come

for all things are rea­dy

Why will you stay away?

Hear the kind in­vi­ta­tion

O come

with­out de­lay;

’Tis the day of sal­va­tion;

Why will you long­er roam?

There’s a man­sion now pre­par­ing

For you in yon­der home.

’Tis a feast ev­er­last­ing

Abundant

rich and free

Thro’ the blood of the Sav­ior

An op­en door we see;

Come and wear the white rai­ment

The wed­ding gar­ment fair

And the Lord and all His an­gels

Will bid you wel­come there.
