The Call to Come

"Wisdom... hath killed her beasts... she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city... Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled" (Proverbs 9:1-5).

Wisdom is calling us now to the feast:
All things are ready, so come now and dine.
The table once spread with the sacrificed beast,
Has now been replaced with bread and with wine.

Come now and eat, in remembrance, the bread,
And drink of the wine Christ has mingled for us.
Jesus who died and who rose from the dead,
Calls us today to remember Him thus.
