William Cowper - Olney Hymn 27: Welcome To The Table
Work rating: Low

This is the feast of heavenly wine, 
And God invites to sup; 
The juices of the living Vine 
Were press`d to fill the cup. 

Oh! bless the Saviour, ye that eat, 
With royal dainties fed; 
Not heaven affords a costlier treat, 
For Jesus is the bread. 

The vile, the lost, He calls to them; 
Ye trembling souls, appear! 
The righteous in their own esteem 
Have no acceptance here. 

Approach, ye poor, nor dare refuse 
The banquet spread for you; 
Dear Saviour, this is welcome news, 
Then I may venture too. 

If guilt and sin afford a plea, 
And may obtain a place, 
Surely the Lord will welcome me, 
And I shall see his face.
