Full Many Shall Come

Full 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!

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!

May we too give heed when our Savior 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!

Oh, 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!

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 grave I am sleeping.

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

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's morrow.

Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

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!
