Welcome to Glory

Phoebe Palmer • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 122:2

Verse 1

Oh, when I shall sweep thro’ the gates, The scenes of mortality o’er, What then for my spirit awaits? Will they sing on the glorified shore?

Chorus

Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me!

Verse 2

And when from earth’s cares I arise, And pass through the portals above, Will shouts, Welcome home to the skies! Resound through the regions of love?

Chorus

Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me!

Verse 3

Yes! loved ones who knew me below, Who learned the new song with me here, In chorus will hail me, I know, And welcome me home with good cheer:

Chorus

Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me!

Verse 4

The beautiful gates will unfold, The home of the blood-washed I’ll see; The city of saints I’ll behold! For, oh! there’s a welcome for me!

Chorus

Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me!

Verse 5

A sinner made whiter than snow, I’ll join in the mighty acclaim, And shout through the gates as I go, Salvation to God and the Lamb!

Chorus

Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me!
