1 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 is showing,
‘Tis the children’s Jubilee.

Refrain:
Welcome, welcome, welcome, yes, welcome,
Happy welcome to all, yes, to all,
Welcome, welcome, welcome, yes, welcome,
Happy welcome to all, yes, to all.

2 Welcome, welcome, sweetly welcome!
Songs of joy and beams of light,
Gild the golden ties of friendship,
Blending all our hearts to-night;
Sweetly may the strains of music,
Fill our minds with thoughts sublime,
Lift us higher, make us purer,
All our hearts in love combine. [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]
