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.
