Poems (Edwards)/The Welcome Home
THE WELCOME HOME.
What was thy welcome home, Pilgrim from earth set free?Voice, and harp, and song, Shouts of rich melody,Glad smiles and beaming eyes,And angels floating through the skies; This was thy welcome home.
What was thy welcome home, Thou weary traveller! say,Who bid thee taste the joys Of everlasting day?Angels, and friends, and God; And seraphs shouting come,And harp notes pealing through the sky; This was thy welcome home.
