Verse 1

D   Welcome,  welcome!  Sinner,  here!
G   Hang  not  back  through  shame  or  fear;
D   Doubt  not,  nor  distrust  the  call;
Bm   Mercy  is  proclA aimed  to G all.

Verse 2

D   Welcome  to  the  offered  peace;
G   Welcome,  prisoner,  to  release
D   Burst  thy  bonds;  be  saved;  be  free;
Bm   “Rise  and  come  -  He A calleth G thee.”

Verse 3

D   Welcome,  weeping  penitent;
G   Grace  has  made  thy  heart  relent;
D   Welcome,  long  estranged  child;
Bm   God  in  Christ  is A reconcG iled.

Chorus

D All  ye  weary  and  distrG essed,
 Welcome  to  relief  and D rest!
 All  is  ready:  hear  the  cA all.
 There  is  ample  room  for D all.  (2x)

Verse 4

D   O  the  virtue  of  that  price,
G   That  redeeming  sacrifice!
D   Come,  ye  bought,  but  not  with  gold;
Bm   Welcome  to  the A sacred G fold!

Verse 5

D   Welcome  to  the  cleansing  fount,
G   Springing  from  the  sacred  mount;
D   Welcome  to  the  feast  divine,
Bm   Bread  of  life  and A living G wine.
