LyicsCOME in, thou blessed of the Lord:
Stranger nor foe art thou:
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother now.
The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee:
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.
The cup of blessing which we bless,
The heav'nly bread we break,--
Our Saviour's blood and righteousness,--
Freely of us partake.
In weal or woe, in joy or care,
Thy portion shall be ours;
Christians their mutual burdens bear;
They lend their mutual pow'rs.
Come with us, we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in him, as those have stood,
Whose faith the vict'ry won.
And when, by turns, we pass away,
As star by star grows dim,
May each, translated into day,
Be lost, and found in him.
