Lyrics

We have met once more, in the Mas­ter’s name;
Let us all to Him draw near;
With a trust­ing faith and a stead­fast hope,
For we know our Lord is here.

Refrain

Welcome hour, bless­èd hour,
Happy rest from toil and care,
When we meet as now in the Mas­ter’s name,
At the wel­come hour of pray­er.

O the joy He gives, and the love we feel,
When our tune­ful songs we raise,
When our pray­ers arise to His throne on high,
And our hearts are filled with praise.

Refrain

There’s a voice that comes, and it sweet­ly sings
Of a land where toil is o’er;
With the loved ones there, in the vale so fair,
We shall dwell, and part no more.
