Verse 1

D From  the  cross  uplifted  high,
G Where  the  Savior  deigns  to  die,
Em What  melodious  sounds  I  hear,
D Bursting  on  my  ravished  ear!
 "Em Love's  redeeming G work  isD   done  -
Em Come  and  welcome, G sinner,  comeD !

Verse 2

 "D Sprinkled  now  with  blood  the  throne;
G Why  beneath  thy  burdens  groan?
Em On  My  pierced  body  laid,
D Justice  owns  the  ransom  paid.
Em Bow  the  knee  and G kiss  theD   Son,
Em Come  and  welcome, G sinner,  comeD !

Verse 3

 "D Spread  for  thee,  the  festal  board
G See  with  richest  dainties  stored;
Em To  thy  Father's  bosom  pressed,
D Yet  again  a  child  confessed,
Em Never  from  His G house  toD   roam;
Em Come  and  welcome, G sinner,  comD e!

Verse 4

 "D Soon  the  days  of  life  shall  end  -
G Lo,  I  come,  your  Savior,  Friend!
Em Safe  your  spirit  to  convey
D To  the  realms  of  endless  day,
Em Up  to  My  etG ernal D home  -
Em Come  and  welcome, G sinner,  comD e!
Em Come  and  welcome, G sinner,  comD e!"
