Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#333

333. Full many shall come from the east and the west

1 Full many shall come from the east and the west
And sit at the feast of salvation,
With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the blest,
Obeying the Lord's invitation.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

2 May we too give heed when our Saviour doth call
In accents persuasive and tender,
And may we be guests at his feast, one and all,
Our praise and obeisance to render.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

3 Then ended will be, like a dream that is past,
All trial and trouble and sorrow;
All questions and doubts will be answered at last,
When dawneth eternity' morrow.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

4 Then heaven will ring with an anthem more grand
Than ever on earth was recorded,
When all of the saved shall receive at his hand
The crown to the victors awarded.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!

Amen.
