Lyrics

In love’s fellowship we meet you
Here the Gos­pel to pro­claim,
And with song of joy we greet you
In the Sav­ior’s holy name.

Refrain

Welcome, welcome,
Glad welcome we sing,
Join us in praising
Our Sav­ior and king.

Jesus walking close beside you,
While the hours are going by,
Will with holy counsels guide you,
And with grace your needs supply.

Refrain

He will ne’er forsake nor leave you,
When by sin you grieve Him sore,
But will graciously receive you,
And your wandering heart restore.

Refrain

All through life may peace attend you,
Giving calm and sweet repose,
And the powers of Heav’n defend you,
From unseen and open foes.
