1 Enter, Jesus bids thee welcome
In the fullness of His grace;
With this hand of love we give thee
In our hearts the warmest place;
Hence together, Hence together,
Let us run the Christian race.

2 Trials hard may oft beset thee,
Crosses fill the path you trace,
But a victor's palm awaits thee;
Slacken not thy heav'nward pace;
Firm together, Firm together,
Let us run the Christian race.

3 Welcome then to joys and sorrows,
Ev'ry foe and danger face;
od is with us, we shall triumph,
Hallelujah to His grace!
O what glory, O what glory
Crowns the blessed Christian race!
