Luke 14:17: And sent his servant at supper time to say, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
I When the time was now fulfill'd
Thou didst send forth our Lord;
In a servant's form reveal'd
He preach'd the gospel word,
Show'd the heavenly kingdom nigh,
Invited sinners to the feast,
"Weary souls, on Me rely,
And I will give you rest.
I will give you drink, and feed
Your hungry souls with love,
To the feast eternal lead,
And be your Life above;
I have there prepared your place
Who to My yoke your spirits bow;
Now receive My word, and grace
And heaven is ready now."
