LyicsCome in, thou blessed of our God,
In Jesus' name we bid thee come;
No more thy feet shall roam abroad,
Henceforth a brother-welcome home.
CHO.- I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more;
To die no more, to die no more,
I'm going home to die no more.
Those joys which earth can not afford,
We'll seek in fellowship to prove,
Joined in one spirit to our Lord,
Together bound by mutual love.
And while we pass this vail of tears
We'll make our joys and sorrows known;
We'll share each other's hopes and fears.
And count a brother's cares our own.
Once more our welcome we repeat,
Receive assurance of our love;
Oh may we altogether meet
Around the throne of God above.
