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!

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!

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!

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!"

T. Haweis, 1792.
