First Line: From the cross uplifted high,

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 !

2 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 !

3 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 !
