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 piercèd 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!

Loving Shepherd, kind and true

Author: Angelus; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: Loving Shepherd, kind and true, Wilt Thou not in pity come To Thy Lamb? As shepherds do, Bear me in Thy bosom home; Take me hence from earth's annoy To Thy home of endless joy. See how I have gone astray In this earthly wilderness; Come and take me soon away To Thy flock who dwell in bliss, And Thy glory, Lord, behold, Safe within Thy heavenly fold. For I fain would gaze on Thee, With the lambs to whom 'tis given That they feed, from danger free, In the happy fields of heaven; Praising Thee, all terrors o'er, Never can they wander more. Here I live in sore distress, Fearing, watching, hour by hour; For my foes around me press, And I know their craft and power: Lord, Thy lamb can never be Safe one moment, but with Thee. O Lord Jesus, let me not 'Mid the ravening wolves e'er fall, Help me as a shepherd ought, That I may escape them all: Bear me homeward in Thy breast, To Thy fold of endless rest.

If so poor a worm as I My to thy great glory live, All my actions sanctify, All my words and thoughts receive; Claim me for thy service, claim All I have, and all I am. 4. Take my soul and body's powers; Take my memory, mind and will; All my goods, and all my hours; All I know, and all I feel; All I think, or speak, or do; Take my heart, but make it new. 5. Now, O my God, thine own I am; Now I give thee back thine own; Freedom, friends and health and fame, Consecrate to thee alone: Thine I live, thrice happy I! Happier still if thine I die. 6. Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One in Three and Three in One, As by the celestial host, Let thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.
