Full Many Shall Come

lyricist: Magnus Landstad, 1861
Composer: Swedish melody

Full ma­ny shall come from the east and the west

And sit at the feast of sal­va­tion

With Ab­ra­ham

Is­aac

and Ja­cob the blest

Obeying the Lord’s in­vi­ta­tion.

Have mer­cy upon us

O Je­sus!

But they who have al­ways re­sist­ed His grace

And on their own vir­tue de­pend­ed

Shall then be con­demned and cast out from His face

Eternally lost and un­friend­ed.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!

May we too give heed when our Sav­ior doth call

In ac­cents per­sua­sive and ten­der

And may we be guests at His feast

one and all

Our praise and obei­sance to ren­der.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!

Oh

that we the throng of the ran­somed may swell

To whom He hath grant­ed re­mis­sion!

God gra­cious­ly make us in Heav­en to dwell

And save us from end­less per­di­tion.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!

God grant that I may of His in­fi­nite love

Remain in His mer­ci­ful keep­ing

And sit with the King at His ta­ble ab­ove

When here in the grave I am sleep­ing.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!

Then end­ed will be

like a dream that is past

All tri­al and trou­ble and sor­row;

All quest­ions and doubts will be an­swered at last

When dawn­eth eter­ni­ty’s mor­row.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!

Then Heav­en will ring with an an­them more grand

Than ev­er on earth was re­cord­ed

When all of the saved shall re­ceive at His hand

The crown to the vic­tors award­ed.

Have mer­cy up­on us

O Je­sus!
