The Spirit and Bride Say Come

A glo­ri­ous in­vi­ta­tion

Now calls you to the feast;

Each soul is now in­vit­ed

The great­est and the least.

Come

all ye hea­vy la­den

With sor­row or with care—

Today you are in­vit­ed

Your bur­dens Christ will bear.

The Spir­it says come

The Bride says come;

Let him that hear­eth come;

Let him that thirst­eth come

And who­so­ev­er will

Let him take of the wa­ter of

Life free­ly.

That bless­èd in­vi­ta­tion!

Oh

hear to­day and heed;

The Spir­it now is call­ing

Why long­er dwell in need?

Thy soul to­day is faint­ing

For Christ the liv­ing bread;

Accept the in­vi­ta­tion

Come while the feast is spread.

Repeat the in­vi­ta­tion!

Pass on the bless­èd news;

Let none for­sake His mer­cy

Or par­don now re­fuse.

’Tis Je­sus that is call­ing—

All things are re­ady

come—

The Spir­it will di­rect you

The Bride will wel­come home.
