Compel Them To Come In

< 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

< Chorus >
