"All things are ready," come!Come to the supper spread;Come, rich and poor, come, old and young;Come, and be richly fed.

2

"All things are ready," come!The invitation's givenThrough Him who now in glory sitsAt God's right hand in heaven.

3

"All things are ready," come!The door is open wide;O feast upon the love of God;For Christ, his Son, has died.

4

"All things are ready," come!To-morrow may not be;O sinner, come! the Saviour waitsThis hour to welcome thee.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «404» (large) with the reference line «732, 266.» in italics beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 732 or 266); the hymn stands in the lower half of the left column of p. 131, below hymn 403, and ends at the foot of that column with «Albert Midlane.» in italics. The first word «ALL» is set in capitals and small capitals after the opening quotation mark. The print sets a thin space before «!» and «;» («come !», «spread ;», «wide ;», «God ;», «be ;»); it is closed up here. The printer's curly quotation marks and apostrophes are written straight («"All things are ready,"», «invitation's», «God's»). Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's («Him», «To-morrow», «Saviour»). No meter is printed (the text is S. M., 6.6.8.6, like the tunes of the reference line).
