Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCCXXX (1790) First Line: Welcome, thou well belov'd of God Lyrics: 1 Welcome, thou well belov'd of God, Thou heir of grace redeem'd by blood; Welcome with us thy hand to join, As partner of our lot divine: Abundant blessings from above, Give him, we pray, thou God of love. 2 With us the pilgrim's state embrace; We're trav'lling to a blissful place, The new Jerusalem above, The radiant throne, the seat, of love. The Holy Ghost that knows the way, Conduct thee on from day to day! 3 The staff of promise now receive, The weary footsteps to relieve, The chief support the tra'vler knows, Leaning on which he forward goes. Thus if for rest thy spirits call, Leaning on which he cannot fall. 4 With peace, with ceaseless peace beshod, The shoes of peace receive of God; These keep from pain the pilgrim's feet, And make the rugged way see sweet. So Sion's paths shall ever prove, The paths of joy, and peace and love. 5 Thus onward move with upright pace; Stedfast pursue the gospel race: Fill'd with the power of truth divine, Prove all the strength of Jesus thine. Commission'd angels soon shall come, And waft thee to thy wish'd for home. Languages: English
