Author: Thomas Haweis Hymnal: Laudes Domini #272 (1890) Hymnal Title: Laudes Domini First Line: From the cross uplifted high Lyrics: 1 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!" Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Accepted; Atonement Accepted; Christ Crucifixion of; Prodigal Son; Repentance; Atonement Accepted; Christ Crucifixion of; Prodigal Son; Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: HALLE
