COME AND WELCOME.

“So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests.” Matt. 22:10.
GATHER them in from the crowded street, Gather them in from the city's hum, Gather them in to the Saviour's feet, To him who bids you in mercy, “Come.”
Gather the hearing whose ears are closed, Gather the seeing whose sight is dim, Awake those slumbering the sleep of sin, Gather them all to rejoice in Him.
Gather them in, for the night wanes fast, And soon the glad morn shall rejoice our eyes; Gather them out of the darkened past, To crown his triumph, the Saviour's prize.
Gather them “all, both bad and good,” For the marriage feast is royally spread, Within is gladness, life, and joy, Without—the dying and the dead.
