Subject(s): Jesus Christ
First Line: From the cross uplifted high
Last Line: "come and welcome, sinner, come."
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
From 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!
"Sprinkled now with blood the throne,
Why beneath thy burdens groan?
On My pierced body laid,
Justice owns the ransom paid;
Bow the knee, and kiss 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 spirits to convey
To the realms of endless day--
Up to My eternal home,
Come and welcome, sinner, come."
