A Pocket Hymn-book ‎#5

5. Sinners, obey the gospel word

1 Sinners, obey the gospel word!
Haste to the supper of my Lord;
Be wise to know your gracious day!
All things are ready; come away.

2 Ready the Father is to own,
And kiss his late-returning son;
Ready the loving Saviuor stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.

3 Ready the Spirit of his love,
Just now the stony to remove;
'T' apply, and witness with the blood,
And wash, and seal the sons of God.

4 Ready for you the angels wait,
To triumph in your blest estate;
Tuning their harps, they long to praise
The wonders of redeeming grace.

5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Are ready with their shining host:
All heav'n is ready to resound,
"The Dead's alive! the Lord is found!"

6 Come then, ye sinners, to your Lord,
In Christ to paradise restor'd;
His proffer'd benefits embrace,
The plenitude of gospel-grace.
