Happy Welcome to All

Welcome

wel­come

glad­ly wel­come

To the child­ren’s Ju­bi­lee;

Here we meet

with joy to greet you

Happy meet­ing may it be;

May our hearts be ov­er­flow­ing

Full of joy­ous me­lo­dy;

Each to each our love be show­ing

’Tis the child­ren’s Ju­bi­lee.

Welcome

Happy wel­come to all

Welcome

wel­come

sweet­ly wel­come!

Songs of joy

and beams of light;

Gild the gold­en ties of friend­ship

Blending all our hearts to­night;

Sweetly may the strains of mu­sic

Fill our minds with thoughts sub­lime;

Lift us high­er

make us pur­er

All our hearts in love com­bine.

Welcome

wel­come! Par­ents

teach­ers

Freely join our songs of glee

Banish ev­ery thought of sad­ness

’Tis the child­ren’s Ju­bi­lee.

Who may sing

if not the child­ren?

Let us join their mer­ry song;

Youthful hearts may ut­ter prais­es

Gladdening ev­en the an­gel throng.

Welcome! wel­come! sing­ing wel­come!

Thanks we raise

O Lord

to Thee!

Thou hast kind­ly

gent­ly led us

Brought us to our Ju­bi­lee.

When we come to Jor­dan’s riv­er

Gazing on the oth­er shore

May we find a hear­ty wel­come

Welcome where we’ll part no more.
