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.
