Come in, thou blessed of the Lord.
Gen. 24:31.
293Kelly.
Come in, thou blesséd of our God, In Jesus’ name we bid thee come; No more thy feet shall roam abroad, Henceforth a brother—welcome home. | 2 Those joys which earth can not afford, We’ll seek in fellowship to prove, Joined in one spirit to our Lord, Together bound by mutual love. | 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. | 4 Once more our welcome we repeat, Receive assurance of our love; O may we all together meet Around the throne of God above. | |
