Refrain: Out on the highways, into the byways, Over the mountain, over the sea, Carry the message, tell of salvation, Ring out the tidings, “Mercy is free.” 2 Christ today spreads a banquet of mercy, And his servants invite to his home; Sinner, all now is ready and waiting, On the highways of sin cease to roam. [Refrain] 3 Slight no longer the kind invitation, And the message of mercy we bring; O accept now the bounty of Jesus, And sit down at the feet of thy King.

H. N. Lincoln

1859 - 1948 Author of "The Gospel Invitation" in The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 Horace Neely Lincoln, 1859-1948. Horace was the son of James Lincoln and Emaline King, and husband of Etta Lee Thurmand (married 1887). He moved with his family to Texas when he was seven years old. At age 10, he began attending a singing school conducted by James M. Jolley of Mississippi. In 1880, he taught his first singing class in his old neighborhood school house. Later that year, he attended his first normal music school, taught at Mountain Home (now Holland), Texas. Lincoln had other musical training under L. B. Shook (a former student of Philip Bliss) and John McPherson of Illinois. In 1898, he graduated from the Chicago National College of Music, and in 1906 took a post-graduate course under Horatio Palmer. Lincoln eventually became president of the Songland Music Company, and the World’s Normal Musical College. © The Cyber Hymnal™ (hymntime/tch)
