There many shall come from the east and the west
Author: M. B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #239 (1913) Meter: 11.9.11.9.9 Lyrics: 1 There many shall come from the east and the west
And sit at the feast of salvation
With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the blest,
Obeying the Lord's invitation.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
2 But they who have always resisted His grace
And on their own virtue depended,
Shall then be condemned and cast out from His face,
Eternally lost and unfriended.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
3 O may we all hear when our Shepherd doth call,
In accents persuasive and tender,
That while there is time we make haste one and all
And find Him, our mighty defender.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
4 O that we the throng of the ransomed may swell,
To whom He hath granted remission.
God graciously make us in heaven to dwell
And save us from endless perdition.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
5 God grant that I may of His infinite love
Remain in His merciful keeping;
And sit with the King at His table above,
When here in the grace I am sleeping.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
6 All trials are then like a dream that is past,
Forgotten all trouble and sorrow;
All questions and doubts have been answered at last;
Then dawneth eternity's morrow.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
7 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.

And sit at the feast of salvation,
With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the blest,
Obeying the Lord's invitation.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
2 May we too give heed when our Saviour doth call
In accents persuasive and tender,
And may we be guests at his feast, one and all,
Our praise and obeisance to render.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
3 Then ended will be, like a dream that is past,
All trial and trouble and sorrow;
All questions and doubts will be answered at last,
When dawneth eternity' morrow.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
4 Then heaven will ring with an anthem more grand
Than ever on earth was recorded,
When all of the saved shall receive at his hand
The crown to the victors awarded.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
Amen.
