The Voice of Praise ‎#483

483. Come in, thou blessed of the Lord

1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord;
Stranger nor foe art thou:
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother now.

2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee:
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.

3 The cup of blessing which we bless,
The heavenly bread we break,
Our Saviour's blood and righteousness,
Freely with us partake.

4 In weal or woe, in joy or care,
Thy portion shall be ours;
Christians their mutual burdens bear;
They lend their mutual powers.

5 Come with us, we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in him, as those have stood
Whose faith the vict'ry won.

6 And when, by turns, we pass away,
As star by star grows dim,
May each, translated into day,
Be lost and found in him.
