All things are ready,
come to the feast!
Come, for the table now is spread;
Ye famishing, ye weary, come,
And thou shalt be richly fed.
Refrain
Hear the invitation,
Come, whosoever will
;
Praise God for full salvation
For whosoever will.
All things are ready,
come to the feast!
Come, for the door is open wide;
A place of honor is reserved
For you at the Master’s side.
Refrain
All things are ready,
come to the feast!
Come, while He waits to welcome thee;
Delay not while this day is thine,
Tomorrow may never be.
Refrain
All things are ready,
come to the feast!
Leave every care and worldly strife;
Come, feast upon the love of God,
And drink everlasting life.
