Greeting

On this night of joy­ous greet­ing

[or

On this day of fes­tal greet­ing]

Parents

teach­ers

child­ren

come

Join us in our hap­py meet­ing

In our bless­èd Sab­bath home.

Hear our voic­es

sweet­ly blend­ing

In the prais­es of our Lord;

Notes so sweet to Heav’n as­cend­ing

Angel voic­es might ac­cord.

We are taught the won­drous sto­ry

That for us the Sav­ior came:

That we have a home in glo­ry

Purchased by the dy­ing Lamb.

May our hearts to Him be giv­en

In our hap­py child­hood days

Travelers on the road to Heav­en

Cheer the way with songs of praise.
