Come in, thou blessed of the Lord.
Gen. 24:31.
Come in, thou blesséd of our God,
In Jesus’ name we bid thee come;
No more thy feet shall roam abroad,
Henceforth a brother—welcome home.
2 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.
3 And while we pass this vale 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.
4 Once more our welcome we repeat,
Receive assurance of our love;
O may we all together meet
Around the throne of God above.
Kelly.
