Verse 1
Welcome friend, in that great name,
Whence our every blessing flows!
Enter, and increase the flame
Which in all our bosoms glows.

Verse 2
Sent of God, we thee receive:
Hail the providential guest!
If in Jesus we believe,
Let us on his mercies feast.

Verse 3
Jesus is our common Lord,
He our loving Saviour is,
By his death to life restor’d,
Misery we exchange for bliss:

Verse 4
Bliss to carnal minds unknown,
O! ’Tis more than tongue[1] can tell,
Only to believers known,
Glorious, and unspeakable!

Verse 5
Christ, our brother, and our friend,
Shews us his eternal love;
Never let our triumphs end,
Till we join the host above.

Verse 6
Let us walk with Christ in white,
For our bridal-day prepare,
For our partnership in light,
For our glorious meeting there!
