  1. 1From the cross uplifted high
  2. Where the Saviour deigns to die,
  3. What melodious sounds I hear,
  4. Bursting on my ravished ear:
  5. "Love's redeeming work is done,
  6. Come and welcome, sinner, come.
  7. 2"Sprinkled now with blood the throne;
  8. Why beneath thy burdens groan?
  9. On My piercèd body laid,
  10. Justice owns the ransom paid:
  11. Bow the knee, and kiss the Son,
  12. Come and welcome, sinner, come.
  13. 3"Spread for thee, the festal board
  14. See with richest dainties stored;
  15. To thy Father's bosom pressed,
  16. Yet again a child confessed,
  17. Never from His house to roam,
  18. Come and welcome, sinner, come.
  19. 4"Soon the days of life shall end;
  20. Lo, I come, your Saviour, Friend,
  21. Safe your spirits to convey
  22. To the realms of endless day:
  23. Up to My eternal home,
  24. Come and welcome, sinner, come."
  25. 5Amen.
