The Gospel Feast.
1On Zion, his most holy mount,
God will a feast prepare;
And Israel's sons, and Gentile lands,
Shall in the banquet share.
2See to the vilest of the vile
A free acceptance given!
See rebels, by adopting grace,
Sit with the heirs of heaven!
3The pained, the sick, the dying, now
To ease and health restored,
With eager appetites partake
The plenties of the board.
4But, O, what draughts of bliss unknown,
What dainties shall be given,
When, with the myriads round the throne,
We join the feast of heaven!
5There joys immeasurably high
Shall overflow the soul,
And springs of life, that never dry,
In thousand channels roll.
