632. "Come and welcome"

1 From the cross uplifted high,
Where the Saviour deigns to die,
What melodious sounds we hear,
Bursting on my 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!"
