Lyics

WELCOME, thou well belov'd of God,

Thou heir of grace, redeem'd by blood;

Welcome with us thine hand to join,

As partners of our lot divine.



With us the pilgrim's state embrace--

We're trav'ling to a blissful place;

The Holy Spirit knows the way,

And he'll conduct from day to day.



Take us thy cross and bear it on;

It shall be light, and not be long;

Soon shalt thou sit with Jesus down,

And wear an everlasting crown.
