This Charles Wesley hymn is a powerful presentation of the gospel call, pleading for people to come to Christ.<\/p>\n
Come, sinners, to the Gospel feast;
\nLet every soul be Jesus\u2019 guest.
\nYe need not one be left behind,
\nFor God hath bid all mankind.<\/p>\nSent by my Lord, on you I call;
\nThe invitation is to all.
\nCome, all the world! Come, sinner, thou!
\nAll things in Christ are ready now.<\/p>\nCome, all ye souls by sin oppressed,
\nYe restless wanderers after rest;
\nYe poor, and maimed, and sick, and blind,
\nIn Christ a hearty welcome find.<\/p>\nCome, and partake the Gospel feast;
\nBe saved from sin; in Jesus rest;
\nO taste the goodness of your God,
\nAnd eat His flesh, and drink His blood!<\/p>\nYou vagrant souls, on you I call;
\n(O that my voice could reach you all!)
\nYou all may now be justified,
\nYou all may live, for Christ hath died.<\/p>\nHis love is mighty to compel;
\nHis conquering love consent to feel,
\nYield to His love\u2019s resistless power,
\nAnd fight against your God no more.<\/p>\nSee Him set forth before your eyes,
\nThat precious, bleeding Sacrifice!
\nHis offered benefits embrace,
\nAnd freely now be saved by grace.<\/p>\nThis is the time, no more delay!
\nThis is the Lord\u2019s accepted day.
\nCome thou, this moment, at His call,
\nAnd live for Him Who\u00a0died for all.<\/p>\n– Charles Wes\u00adley, Hymns for Those That Seek and Those That Have Re\u00addemp\u00adtion in the Blood of Je\u00adsus Christ<\/em>, 1747.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
