Come in, thou blessed of the Lord! O come in Jesus' precious name (Kelly)

James Montgomery (1834) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 24:31

Verse 1

Come in, thou blessed of the Lord! O come in Jesus' precious name; We welcome thee with one accord, And trust the Savior does the same.

Verse 2

Those joys which earth cannot afford, We'll seek in fellowship to prove, Joined in one spirit to our Lord, Together bound by mutual love.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

Once more, our welcome we repeat; Receive assurance of our love; O may we all together meet Around the throne of God above. Amen.
