Welcome, One and All

lyricist: Laura Newell, 1896
Composer: B. C. Ward

We are ga­thered to­day in our Sun­day school

With our hearts full of grate­ful praise;

We re­joice

we re­joice

as we hi­ther come

That the Lord doth di­rect our ways.

We would join in the song of wel­come:

Welcome one and all to­day!

Let us strive with our might e’er to do the right

And to seek for the lambs as­tray.

We would go forth with zeal in our mas­ter’s name

And would bring ma­ny wan­d’rers in;

We would tell them of Christ

who from glo­ry came

E’en to save them from death and sin.

One and all with a will let us work to­day

To re­store to the Lord His own;

Leading souls to the bright and the shin­ing way

Serving Je­sus

and Him alone.
