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