726. Called to the Feast

1. Called to the feast by the King are we,
Sitting, perhaps, where His people be;
How will it fare, then, with thee and me
When the King comes in?

Refrain
When the King comes in, brother,
When the King comes in;
How will it fare with thee and me
When the King comes in?

2. Crowns on the Head where the thorns have been;
Glorified He who once died for men;
Splendid the vision before us then,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]

3. Like lightning’s flash will that instant show
Things hidden long from both friend and foe—
Just what we are every one will know,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]

4. Joyful His eye on each one shall rest
Who is in white wedding garments dressed;
Ah! well for us if we stand the test,
When the King comes in. [Refrain]
