1 Welcome, welcome, sinner, hear,
Hang not back through shame or fear;
Doubt not nor distrust the call,
Mercy is proclaimed to all.

Refrain:
Welcome to the offered peace,
Welcome prisoner to thy release,
Burst thy bonds; be saved, be free,
Rise and come he calleth thee.

2 Welcome to the cleansing fount
Springing from the sacred mount;
Welcome to the feast divine,
Bread of life and living wine. [Refrain]

3 All ye weary and distressed,
Welcome to relief and rest;
All is ready, hear the call
There is ample room for all. [Refrain]
