Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #342 (1957) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: We bid thee welcome in the name Lyrics: 1 We bid thee welcome in the Name
Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant, so He came,
And we receive thee in His stead.
2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep
This fold unharmed by earth and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep,
The wounded heal, the lost bring in.
3 Come as a teacher sent from God,
Charged His whole counsel to declare;
Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod,
While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 20:25-28 Tune Title: DUKE STREET
We Bid Thee Welcome
