Author: James Montgomery, 1771-8154 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #547 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We bid you welcome in the name
Of Jesus, our exalted head.
Come as a servant -- so he came --
We shall receive you in his stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
This fold from hell and world and sin.
Nourish the lambs and feed the sheep;
The wounded heal; the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher sent from God
With his whole counsel to declare.
Our souls encourage with the Word,
While we uphold your hands with prayer.
4 Come as a messenger of peace,
Filled with the Spirit, fired with love.
God bless your work, your strength increase,
And guide us all to heav'n above. Topics: Ministry; Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEINS
