Welcome to Church Fellowship

Verse 1

Brethren in Christ, and well-beloved, To Jesus and His servants dear, Enter and show yourselves approved; Enter, and find that God is here.

Verse 2

Welcome from earth: lo, the right hand Of fellowship to you we give! With open hearts and hands we stand, And you in Jesu’s name receive.

Verse 3

Say, are your hearts resolved as ours? Then let them burn with sacred love; Then let them taste the heavenly powers, Partakers of the joys above.

Verse 4

Jesu, attend, Thyself reveal! Are we not met in Thy great name? Thee in the midst we wait to feel, We wait to catch the spreading flame.

Verse 5

Thou God that answerest by fire, The Spirit of burning now impart; And let the flames of pure desire Rise from the altar of our heart.

Verse 6

Truly our fellowship below With Thee and with the Father is; In Thee eternal life we know, And Heaven’s unutterable bliss.

Verse 7

In part we only know Thee here, But wait Thy coming from above; And we shall then behold Thee near, And we shall all be lost in love.
