Multitudes of souls distressed

Verse 1
Multitudes of souls distrest
At thy command are come,
Now partake the heavenly feast,
Yet, Lord, there still is room:
Room (tho’ millions have obey’d
Thy call, and to thy arms are brought,)
Room for all thy hands have made,
For all thy blood hath bought.

Verse 2
Room in thy capacious breast
There is for all our kind,
Every soul may gain the rest
For every soul design’d,
Plunge in that unfathom’d Sea,
The depth and height of mercy prove,
Feast thro’ all eternity
On my Redeemer’s love.
