'Twill never, no, never

Be opened again.

2 The feast of the gospel awaits its guests,

The day and the hour are at hand;

Ye hungry and perishing souls, draw near;

Oh, why do you doubtingly stand?

3 Dear friends, if you ever should stand without,

And plead for admittance in vain,

You'd think of the Savior's entreating voice,

And long for this moment again.
