LyicsFROM the cross uplifted high,
Where the Saviour deigns to die,
What melodious sounds we hear,
Bursting on the ravish'd ear!-
"Love's redeeming work is done;
Come and welcome, sinner, come.
"Sprinkled now with blood the throne,
Why beneath thy burdens groan?
On my pierced body laid,
Justice owns the ransom paid;
Bow the knee, embrace the Son;
Come and welcome, sinner, come.
"Spread for thee, the festal board
See with richest dainties stor'd;
To thy Father's bosom press'd,
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 spirits to convey
To the realms of endless day,
Up to my eternal home;
Come and welcome, sinner, come."
