1. Greetings be to you, our brethren,
To our sisters in the Lord,
Here from far and near assembled,
Gathered here in one accord.
Welcome, welcome All ye loved ones:
Greetings in the Saviour’s name.
2. Peace and love impel the greeting,
Greetings do our love impart;
Christians greetings are a blessing,
As a pray’r console the heart.
There is comfort, peace and blessing,
Of a greeting in the Lord.
3. Greetings to our faithful brethren,
Heart and voice, we do employ;
Wishing them the Father’s nearness,
Tho’ their lot be we or joy.
There’s a blessing in the greeting,
Given in the Saviour’s name.
4. Farewell greetings, holy tokens,
Fill the heart with pain and tears;
Farewell, farewell, to our brethren,
When are spent our earthly years.
Resurrection, heav’nly greetings,
In the presence of our Lord.

Gathered here in one accord.
