Lyrics:

Come and taste along with me consolation flowing free,
from the Father’s wealthy throne, sweeter than the honeycomb.
I’ll praise God and you praise God, and we’ll all praise God together; we’ll praise the Lord for the work that he has done,
and we’ll bless his Name forever.
All that come with free good will make the banquet sweeter still; now I go to mercy’s door, asking for a little more.
Goodness, running like a stream through the new Jerusalem, by a constant breaking forth sweetens earth and heaven both.
O, return, ye sons of grace, turn and see God’s smiling face. Hark, he calls backsliders home, then from him no longer roam.
(Text: John Leland)
