Verse 1

From the cross uplifted high,
Where the Savior deigns to die,
What melodious sounds we hear,
Bursting on the ravished ear!--
“Love’s redeeming’ work is done--
Come and welcome, sinner, come!

Verse 2

“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!

Verse 3

“Spread for thee, the festal board--
See with richest bounty stored;
To thy Father’s bosom pressed,
Thou shalt be a child confessed,
Never from his house to roam;
Come and welcome, sinner, come!

Verse 4

“Soon the days of life shall end--
Lo, I come--your Savior, Friend!
Safe your spirit to convey
To the realms of endless day,
Up to my eternal home
Come and welcome, sinner, come!”

Verse 1

Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor!
Behold a royal feast,
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store,
For every humble guest.

Verse 2

See, Jesus stands, with open arms;
He calls,--he bids you come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But, see! there yet is room.

Verse 3

Room, in the Savior’s bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart,
That trembles at his feet

Verse 4

Oh! come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love:
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.

Verse 5

There, with united heart and voice,
Before th’ eternal throne,
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice,
In ecstasies unknown.

Verse 6

And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing souls! the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room.
