Hear the Word

Come

for all is rea­dy

and the feast is spread

Come

for Je­sus of­fers you the liv­ing Bread

Hear His in­vi­tation

’mid the toil and strife

Come

and take the gift of life.

Hear the word

all may come;

Without price

come and take eter­nal life.

Gospel bells are ring­ing

hear the ec­ho sweet

Calling in the wan­d’ring to the Sav­ior’s feet

Heed the ten­der mes­sage

seek the great re­ward

Hear the voice of Christ your Lord.

Welcome

ev­er wel­come to the feast of love

Whosoever will

may see His face above

Hark

with hal­le­lujahs

how the high courts ring

Come

and crown the Sav­ior King.

You who know how pre­cious is His grace so free

Take the gift of life yet more abun­dant­ly.

Spread the in­vi­ta­tion

there is room for all

Sound abroad the lov­ing call.
