The king had planned a wedding feast
To honor his dear Son
He sent his men to tell the honored guests
The time had come
But the foolish men made light of it
And went, each one, his way
And the king was told, “There are no guests
To bless this wedding day
The king, in anger, sent his men–
“Go out into the streets
And call the lost, the blind, the
Dumb, the lame with broken feet
And still when this was done
The sеrvant said, “Yet there is room.”
Thе king replied, “Go out once more–
Compel them all to come.”
Chorus:
Compel them, compel them to come in
Far too long they have wandered in the darkness of their sin
There is rest at my table
There is peace and joy within
So compel them, compel them, compel them to come in
And now the King of Heaven
Plans the Supper of the Lamb
We have a special
Invitation from the Great I AM
He bids us go to every creature
Spread the Gospel word
Go out into the highways to the ones
Who’ve never heard
Oh, the highways and hedges are so filled with lost and blind
He said, “Go and bring as many as ye find!”
Chorus
End (interlude) — “compel them to come in…”
