9 O° TUNE-Songs of Love and Mercy, No. 9. UR loving Redeemer, we trust in Thy word 11.Ir. The word which of old called the children to Thee; Its tones all so tender with joy we have heard, "Forbid not the lambs who would come unto Me." Thou wilt welcome us home, The rest of our souls on Thy bosom shall be. 2 Our sins are as scarlet, do Thou make us clean, The joy of forgiveness our young hearts shall know. Thou wilt welcome us home; Our peace, like a river, unbroken shall flow. 3 When life is all over, we hope then above, Where cometh no terror, where falleth no tear, To sing in sweet numbers Thy wonderful love, With all who in childhood have followed Thee here. We come, oh we come; 10 Thou wilt welcome us home, In the glory of heaven at last to appear. 2 Dr. Asa Smith. TUNE-Songs of Love and Mercy, No. 10.
