LyicsFROM the cross, uplifted high,
Where the Saviour deigns to die,
What melodious sounds we hear,
Bursting on the ravished ear!
Love's redeeming work is done:
Come, and welcome, sinner, come.
Seated on his glorious throne,
Now he makes our cause his own;
Offers pardon through his blood,
Joy of heart, and peace with God.
Bow the knee, embrace the Son;
Come, and welcome, sinner, come.
Spread for thee, the festal board,
See, with richest dainties stored;
To thy Father's bosom pressed,
Yet again a child confessed,
Never from his house to roam,
Come, and welcome, sinner, come.
Soon the days of life shall end;
Lo! I come, your Saviour Friend,
Safe your spirit to convey
To the realms of endless day:
Up to my eternal home,
Come, and welcome, sinner come.
