1 Come, all ye sons of Zion,
Who are waiting for salvation,
Have your lamps trimmed and burning,
For behold the proclamation,
Saying, “All things now are ready
For the poor and for the needy;
All my fatlings now are killed,
And prepared on the table.” MIM 54.2
2 Arise and get ready;
Hasten to the marriage supper, While the Bridegroom is calling,
And poor sinners are a falling.
See the Lord of life descending,
And the judgment trumpet sounding,
For to gather all the nations
To the final judgment-day. MIM 54.3
3 O what a happy meeting,
When salvation is completed,
And tribulation’s ended,
And the spotless robe prepared
For the bride to be adorned,
In the jasper wall be crowned,
Saying, “Worthy is the Lamb,”
In the New Jerusalem. MIM 55.1
4 O, sinners, don’t be doubting,
While the sons of God are shouting;
Come and join the happy army,
And there’s nothing that will harm you.
If you follow Christ the Savior,
And break off your bad behavior,
And repent and be converted,
You may sing his praises too. MIM 55.2
