Ye loyal host of God, Welcome! thrice welcome! From near and from abroad; Tho' changing years pass swiftly by, Our cause is still the same, And thus we gladly greet you in Our Master's conq'ring Name. Chorus: Welcome! thrice welcome to homes and hearts and love; Welcome! thrice welcome! And blessings from above. 2 Welcome! thrice welcome! Believers in the Lord; Welcome! thrice welcome! Upholders of His word; We meet our Saviour's name to praise, To learn what He requires, And by His Spirit's help resolve To follow His desires. [Chorus] 3 Welcome! thrice welcome! Be steadfast in the right, Welcome! thrice welcome! Till faith is lost in sight; And when our battles all are won We'll join the blessed throng, Then God will welcome us and we Will hear heav'ns welcome song.

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Harmonizer of "[Welcome! thrice welcome!]" in Christ in Song Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
