First Line: Weary wanderer, stop and listen,

Weary wanderer, stop and listen,
Happy news we bring to thee ;
Jesus has prepared a banquet ;
Come, and welcome thou shalt be.

Make no longer vain excuses,
Jesus calls, and calls thee now ;
Come, for everything is ready :
Weary soul, why waitest thou ?

2 Are thy sins a heavy burden ?
Come to God, confess them now ;
He is willing to forgive thee ;
Ask, receive, why waitest thou ?

3 On the loving arm of Jesus [now ?
Wouldst thou lean, and trust Him
Let Him cleanse thee at the fountain ;
Come at once ! why waitest thou ?

4 See the beauteous wedding garment ;
In His hands He holds it now :
Haste, oh haste, thee to the banquet ;
Enter in ! why waitest thou ?
