Millennial Harp (1843), Part II, printed p. 70 (PDF 146). Two staves: Treble (the melody, with the
words printed under it) and Bass; G major, 2/4. The whole hymn is on this one page: the first stanza
is printed between the staves, stanzas 2–4 as verse below the music. The four lines of each stanza
are sung to measures 1–17; the refrain «Welcome, welcome, …» (measures 18–25, marked «Adagio.» from
its last line) is printed in full only with stanza 1 and abbreviated «Welcome, &c.» after the others.

He comes, he comes, the Judge severe,
The seventh Trumpet speaks him near ;
His lightnings flash, His thunders roll—
He's welcome to the faithful soul.
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome,
Welcome to the faithful soul.

Descending on his azure throne
He claims the kingdoms as his own.
The kingdoms all obey his word,
And hail him as their triumphant Lord.—Welcome, &c.

Shout, all ye angels of the sky,
And all the saints of the Most High:
Our God, who now his right obtains,
For ever and forever reigns!—Welcome, &c.

The Father praise, the Son adore,
The Spirit bless for evermore:
Salvation's glorious work is done ;
We welcome thee, great Three in One!—Welcome, &c
