Classic Poem

1. Welcome, ye hopeful heirs of heaven, To this rich
2. How great the blessing, thus to meet Around the
feast of gospel love. This pledge is but the
sacramental board, And hold by faith com-
prelude given To that immortal feast a-
munion sweet, With Christ our dear and common
bove, To that immortal feast above.
Lord, With Christ our dear and common Lord.

3. And if so sweet this feast below,
What will it be to meet above,
Where all we see, and feed, and know,
Are fruits of everlasting love,
Are fruits of everlasting love.

4. Soon shall we tune the heavenly lyre
Whilst listening worlds the song approve;
Eternity itself expire,
Ere we exhaust the theme of love,
Ere we exhaust the theme of love.
