Alternate Tune:
Come in, Thou blessèd, honored Lord!
By earth, by Heav’n, by all, adored;
We hail Thee, welcome, take Thy throne,!
And in Thy Zion reign alone.
Our only Lord and God Thou art,
Reign Thou the sovereign of our hearts;
Thou King of glory ever blest,
By angels and by men confessed.
Thy Church now enter, Lord divine;
And be the kingdom ever Thine;
We hail Thee welcome to Thy seat,
And lay our honors at Thy feet.
O happy Church, thy bliss how great!
The King, in all His heav’nly state,
With thee forever will reside:,
Thy husband He and thou the bride.
Jesus, our grateful hearts rejoice,
Since Thou hast made our souls Thy choice;
While here, our songs to Thee shall rise,
And join the chorus of the skies.
