LyicsWELCOME, 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.
