1 From all the wind's wide quarters
come, see the feast is spread,
of soul-sustaining waters,
of true and living bread;
of sorrows long-departed,
and joys beyond compare --
come, poor and humble-hearted,
the feast of life to share!

2 With mercy all-prevailing
God bids the wanderer come;
in grace and peace unfailing
invites the children home.
With loving-kindness tender,
God frees us from our sins --
in glory and in splendour
the feast of life begins!

3 Come, claim the promise spoken!
God's purpose stands secure.
The fruitful word unbroken
shall evermore endure.
All ancient bondage ended
to sin's corrupting powers --
forgiven, freed, befriended,
the feast of life is ours!
