JESUS our Lord invites us here
   To this triumphal feast;
And brings immortal blessings down
    For each believing guest.
 
2  The Lord! how glorious is His face!
    How kind His smiles appear;
And O, what melting words He says
    To every humble ear:
 
3  ‘For you, the children of My love,
    It was for you I died;
Behold My hands, behold My feet,
    And look upon My side . . .
 
4  ‘These are the wounds for you I bore,
    The proof of all My pains
When I came down to free your souls
    From misery and chains.’
 
5  Atoning Lord, what can we pay
    For favours so divine?
We would devote our hearts away
    To be for ever Thine.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
