By Charles Wesley

      1.
      Come, and let us sweetly join,
      Christ to praise in hymns divine;
      give we all with one accord
      glory to our common Lord.

      2.
      Hands and hearts and voices raise,
      sing as in the ancient days;
      antedate the joys above,
      celebrate the feast of love.

      3.
      Jesus, dear expected Guest,
      thou art bidden to the feast;
      for thyself our hearts prepare;
      come, and sit, and banquet there.

      4.
      Sanctify us, Lord, and bless,
      breathe thy Spirit, give thy peace;
      thou thyself within us move,
      make our feast a feast of love.
