Tune:[In the ark most holy]
Composer:Frank L. Armstrong

58. Welcome, Jesus, Welcome

1 In the ark most holy,
Once the Lord appeared,
There to bless His people,
Who His mandate feared;
Wheresoe’er this symbol
Found a resting place,
There were sweetest tokens
Of Jehovah’s grace.

Refrain:
Welcome, Jesus, welcome,
Welcome to my heart,
Make it now Thy dwelling-place,
And never more depart,
Make it now Thy dwelling-place,
And never more depart.

2 Now God’s chosen temple,
Where He will impart
Heaven’s richest blessings,
Is my sinful heart;
At the door He’s knocking,
Waiting to come in,—
Welcome, Jesus, welcome,
Cleanse my heart from sin. [Refrain]

3 Wheresoever Jesus
Is a welcome guest,
In the heart or household,
There is sweetest rest;
Welcome, blessed Saviour,
Show me now Thy grace,
Make my heart Thy temple,
Thine own dwelling-place. [Refrain]
