Welcome Song (Foote)

Bright gleams of sun­shine fill val­leys fair

Glad songs of joy are heard ev­ery­where;

All na­ture seems re­joic­ing to say

O wel­come

Child­ren’s Day.

Our voic­es raise in notes of praise

With bright song ring­ing

our trib­ute bring­ing

To Christ our king

whose love we sing

We’ll praise Him ev­er for the Child­ren’s Day.

O wel­come

wel­come

bright

gold­en hours

With song of birds and per­fume of flow­ers

Our hearts and lives we joy­ful­ly bring

An of­fer­ing to our king.

Our all we bring

our trib­ute of love

To Christ our king now reign­ing above;

We’ll serve Him now and praise ev­er­more

The One whom we ad­ore.

O Je­sus

Sav­ior

Thee we ad­ore;

We’ll praise Thy ho­ly name ev­er­more;

We’ll serve Thee ev­er

bring­ing to Thee

Our lives

Thine own to be.
