Welcome to Glory

Author: Phoebe Palmer Hymnal: The Great Awakening #33 (1886) First Line: Oh, when I shall sweep thro' the gates Refrain First Line: Welcome home! welcome home! Lyrics: 1 Oh, when I shall sweep thro’ the gates, The scenes of mortality o’er, What then for my spirit awaits? Will they sing on the glorified shore? Refrain: Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome in glory for me! Welcome home! welcome home! A welcome for me! 2 And when from earth’s cares I arise, And pass through the portals above, Will shouts, Welcome home to the skies! Resound through the regions of love? [Refrain] 3 Yes! loved ones who knew me below, Who learned the new song with me here, In chorus will hail me, I know, And welcome me home with good cheer: [Refrain] 4 The beautiful gates will unfold, The home of the blood-washed I’ll see; The city of saints I’ll behold! For, oh! there’s a welcome for me! [Refrain] 5 A sinner made whiter than snow, I’ll join in the mighty acclaim, And shout through the gates as I go, Salvation to God and the Lamb! [Refrain] Tune Title: [Oh, when I shall sweep thro' the gates]
