Christ Is Ready to Welcome

lyricist: B. A. Strong, 1917
Composer: Samuel Beazley

Christ is rea­dy to wel­come ev­ery needy heart

Every sin­ner for­giv­en may be;

Peace and com­fort and glad­ness He will now im­part

Unto all who will an­swer His plea.

When He said Who­so­ev­er

He in­clud­ed you and me

And I am glad

I am glad;

When He said Who­so­ev­er

He meant all who would be free

And I am glad

I am glad.

Not alone to the weal­thy did the Mas­ter speak

Not alone to the poor who were nigh;

But to all who had wan­dered

And were lost and weak

Did His sweet who­so­ev­er ap­ply.

Come to­day with your trou­bles

Come with all your sin

On His love cast your grief and your care;

He is wait­ing to make you white as snow with­in

Waiting now all your bur­dens to bear.
