WELCOME HYMN
(Sung to the music of “Welcome Hymn” Christ in Song, No. 280)
Welcome! thrice welcome! To the gathering here;
Welcome! thrice welcome! Each one from far and near.
Though time has passed since last we came; Our cause is still the same;
Our hearts thrill as we greet each other In the Shepherd’s name.
Chorus: Welcome! thrice welcome, Ye servants of our God;
Welcome! thrice welcome, All come to heed the ROD.
Welcome! thrice welcome, Ye Vanguard of the Lord;
Welcome! thrice welcome, All ye of one accord.
In faith and hope we congregate, O Lord, to supplicate
Thy mercy, peace and blessing sweet. What joy to meditate!
Chorus: Welcome! thrice welcome, Ye servants of our God;
Welcome! thrice welcome, All come to heed the ROD.
Welcome! thrice welcome, All here to worship God;
Welcome! thrice welcome, Ye faithful of the ROD,
Our hearts rejoice that we’re all here, We sing this loud and clear.
We praise the Lord for what He’s wrought, We sing with holy fear.
Chorus: Welcome! thrice welcome, Ye servants of our God;
Welcome! thrice welcome, All come to heed the ROD.
