[Lo the wedding is prepared]

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding, &c. —xxii. 8.

Lo the wedding is prepared,
(He to His servants said,)
Call who will the call regard,
In faithless Israel's stead:
Bidden first since they refuse,
And all My invitations scorn,
Leave the reprobated Jews,
And to the Gentiles turn.
