Weary wanderer, stop and listen, Happy news we bring to thee ; Jesus has prepared a banquet ; Come, and welcome thou shalt be.
Make no longer vain excuses, Jesus calls, and calls thee now ; Come, for everything is ready : Weary soul, why waitest thou ?
2. Are thy sins a heavy burden ? Come to God, confess them now ; He is willing to forgive thee ; Ask, receive, why waitest thou ?
3. On the loving arm of Jesus [now ? Wouldst thou lean, and trust Him Let Him cleanse thee at the fountain ; Come at once ! why waitest thou ?
4. See the beauteous wedding garment ; In His hands He holds it now : Haste, oh haste, thee to the banquet ; Enter in ! why waitest thou ?
