1 A multitude comes from the east and the west
To sit at the feast of salvation
With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blest,
Obeying the Lord's invitation.

2 O God, let us hear when our shepherd shall call
In accents persuasive and tender,
That while there is time we make haste, one and all,
And find him, our mighty defender.

3 All trails shall be like a dream that is past,
Forgotten all trouble and mourning.
All questions and doubts have been answered at last,
When rises the light of that morning.

4 The heavens shall ring with an anthem more grand
Than ever on earth was recorded;
The blest of the Lord shall receive at his hand
The crown to the victors awarded.
