"What melodious sounds I hear"

From the cross uplifted high

Where the Savior deigns to die

What melodious sounds I hear

Bursting on my ravished ear

Love¹s redeeming work is done

Come and welcome, sinner, come.

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.
