If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 1:7
Words: Dwight E. Marvin, 1897.

If you know where to get a good photo of Marvin (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Owen,
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.
