Brethren in Christ, and well beloved, To Jesus and His servants dear, Enter and show yourselves approved; Enter and find that God is here.

Welcome from earth: lo, the right hand Of fellowship to you we give! With open hearts and hands we stand, And you in Jesus' name receive.

Say, are your hearts resolved as ours? Then let them burn with sacred love; Then let them taste the heavenly powers, Partakers of the joys above.

Thou God that answerest by fire, The burning Spirit now impart; And let the flames of pure desire Rise from the altar of our heart.

In part we only know Thee here, But wait Thy coming from above: And we shall then behold Thee near, And we shall be lost in love.
