SS&S Hymn #405: Come, for all things are

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1
Come, for all things are ready! ’Tis a banquet of love;
Here’s a free invitation from the Master above:
It is written in crimson, drawn from Calvary’s flood,
From the wonderful fountain of the soul-cleansing blood.
Oh, what fulness in Jesus! Oh, what gladness to know,
Though our sins be as scarlet, He’ll make them as snow.
2
Come, for all things are ready!
Heaven’s bounty is spread;
Take the cup of salvation, take the life-giving bread:
Come, though poor and unworthy;
come, though sinful and weak;
’Tis the hungry and thirsty whom the Master doth seek.
3
Come, for all things are ready! here’s a robe, snowy white,
Fairer far than the raiment of the angels of light:
For the beauty of Jesus will thy covering be;
Only ask for this garment, ’twill be given to thee.’
