148.  The Gospel Feast

1
Let ev’ry mortal ear attend,
And ev’ry heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.

2
Eternal wisdom hath prepared
A soul reviving feast,
And bids our longing appetites
The rich provisions taste.

3
Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
Why pine away and die? Here you may quench your longing thirst
From springs that never dry.

4
Abundant grace and blessing here
In rich profusion join;
Salvation in full measure flows
Like floods of milk and wine.

5
The gates divine of heav’nly grace
Are open to our pray’rs;
And when we come to seek supplies,
God grants us our desires.
