| Oh Lord We Welcome Thee |
| Oh Lord, we welcome thee our hearts for joy are leaping, Thou, Jesus, dearest Child, Thy precious promise keeping. You came from Heaven to Earth to be our Brother Dear, Thou, gracious Son of God, will banish all our fear. The mighty Son of God - His majesty concealing, Dwells with our fallen race to give us balm and healing. The everlasting God descends from realms above, Becomes a win-some child, who reveals His Father's love. |
| Ah, sweet and gentle name it's echoes far are resounding. It pierces hearts of stone and tells of love abounding. Oh Jesus, dearest child - only on Thee will we rely. And, calling on Thy name, we die not when we die. To Thee alone we cling for Thee all else forsaking. On Thee alone we build tho' Heaven and Earth be quaking. To Thee alone we live - in Thee alone we will die. Oh Jesus, dearest Lord, with Thee we reign on high. written by Caspar Ziegler 1648 Concordia publishing House Copyright 1941 |
