Welcome

                  (Written for the opening Sunday of the Second Baptist Church E. Cambridge)

O, thou most high one, from thy throne,

          Look down upon us here today,

And take what truly is thine own,

          And use in thine own wondrous way.

Thou hast permitted us to build

          This place in which to worship thee,

And now, O, God, our hearts are filled

          With gratitude and unity.

We feel that thou was hovering near,

          And with thy great and wondrous mind

Wert guiding all our labors here,

          To bring salvation to mankind.

And now our doors are open wide,

          To stranger, sinner and outcast.

We yearn to bring them all inside,

          Where God, and peace are found at last.
