Text: | We Bid Thee Welcome |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | DUKE STREET |
Composer: | John Hatton |
1 We bid thee welcome in the Name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant, so He came,
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
This fold unharmed by earth and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep,
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare;
Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
Amen.
