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.
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 stor'd;
To thy Father's bosom press'd,
Yet again a child confess'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 spirit to convey
To the realms of endless day,
Up to my eternal home;
Come, and welcome, sinner, come.
