CHORUS
//All ye welcome!// All the Brethren here today,
Do all joyfully proclaim: //All ye welcome!//
Reunited once again, all ye welcome!
2
God has kept you to this day, not one moment left your soul,
And has hastened your return, now be welcome!
Jesus Christ has led the way, with his presence gave you strength,
Out of danger kept you safe, now be welcome!
3
God will keep us in this love, hence let us prepare our hearts,
Sanctifying them to him, to give praises;
In the heavens high above where no one will be apart,
And no sadness will surround, we'll be welcome!

Matt 25.1 DAWNING/ Song 5.2 ADVENT
With greatest patience the bride is awaking,
Always awaiting her bridegroom and Lord;
He will come soon, do not sleep but be watchful,
Burn bright your lamp, with the fire of love.
CHORUS
Come Jesus Christ, oh, yes come once again,
//Come, Jesus, come!//
Come Jesus Christ, oh, yes come once again,
Come soon for your Bride awaits.
2
If our time waiting becomes overbearing,
In just a moment we'll all pass away;
The precious star of the dawning will soon shine,
It will shine deep within all of our souls.
3
Oh, Lord, Savior, Jesus Christ, our beloved,
Your Bride waits for the sound of your voice;
Her dress is cleansed from the black stain of all sin,
So that day she'll be encountered with joy.
