Have You a Welcome?

D. S. Warner • English

Primary Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:10

Verse 1

O blessed Jesus, for Thee we are waiting, Waiting in joy for that glorious morning dawn; Thou hast a remnant that love Thy appearing; Welcome Thy coming, dear Lord, for Thine own.

Chorus

Have you a welcome down in your bosom, For Christ to come this very day in final doom? Yes, hallelujah! come, my Redeemer, Even this moment, oh, come, Jesus, come.

Verse 2

Lo, Thou art coming, the heavens betoken, Foreboding wonders astonish eye and ear; Omens now thunder the signs Thou hast spoken, Truly, O Savior, Thy coming is near.

Chorus

Have you a welcome down in your bosom, For Christ to come this very day in final doom? Yes, hallelujah! come, my Redeemer, Even this moment, oh, come, Jesus, come.

Verse 3

Thrones have arisen and crumbled to ruin, Since we await Thy returning from above; Sinners emboldened say, “Where is His coming?” Truth disbelieving, Thy wrath they must prove.

Chorus

Have you a welcome down in your bosom, For Christ to come this very day in final doom? Yes, hallelujah! come, my Redeemer, Even this moment, oh, come, Jesus, come.

Verse 4

Many ungrateful, despise and reject Thee, Others professing by works deny Thee more; But all the ransomed, Thy bride meek and holy, Joyfully welcome Thy voice at the door.

Chorus

Have you a welcome down in your bosom, For Christ to come this very day in final doom? Yes, hallelujah! come, my Redeemer, Even this moment, oh, come, Jesus, come.
