< Verse >
A certain
man prepared a great meal invited many to come
He sent his
servant at suppertime for to tell everyone
Come for
everything is ready and the time is at hand
But they as
one made their excuses rejected the Master’s command
< Chorus
>
Go into the
streets of the city
Bring in the
poor, the blind, and the lame
Go into the
highways and byways
And compel
them to come in
< Verse >
I must tend
to my property, and I cannot come
I must care
for my horses, and one of them is feeling glum
I must tend
to my wife, so sorry I can’t go
This made
the Master angry, this made the Master mad
