Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord,
Stranger nor foe art thou;
We welcome thee with warm accord,
Our friend, our brother, now.
2 The hand of fellowship, the heart
Of love, we offer thee;
Leaving the world, thou dost but part
From lies and vanity.
3 Come with us; we will do thee good,
As God to us hath done;
Stand but in Him, as those have stood
Whose faith the victory won. Topics: Church Joining the; Reception of Members; Welcoming Converts; Church Joining the; Reception of Members; Welcoming Converts; Seasons and Occasions Used With Tune: ST. AGNES
