210. Welcome, Welcome, O Redeemer

1 Welcome, welcome, O Redeemer,
Welcome to this heart of mine.
Lord, I make a full surrender,
Every power and thought be Thine;
Thine entirely, Thine entirely,
Through eternal ages Thine;
Thine entirely, Thine entirely,
Through eternal ages Thine.

2 Oh, I love Thee, precious Jesus,
And I know that Thou art mine;
All my heart I give Thee, Jesus,
And I know Thou mak’st it Thine.
Take my warmest, best affections,
Take my mem’ry, mind and will,
And with all Thy loving Spirit
All my emptied nature fill.

3 Vain the world, its pleasures boasting;
Vain the charms of life to me;
Gold is dross, and riches worthless,
If they turn my heart from Thee.
Nearer, dearer than a brother,
Source and centre of my bliss;
All of joy and all of sorrow,
Find their end in knowing this.

4 Known to all to be Thy mansion,
Earth and hell shall disappear;
Or in vain attempt possession,
When they find the Lord is there.
Shout, ye angels! shout, ye angels!
Shout, O saints, the Lord is here;
Shout, ye angels! shout, ye angels!
Shout, O saints, the Lord is here.
