We Welcome With Delight

We welcome with delight

Another happy day,

Our hearts like merry bells

Ring out the silver lay;

We catch the rosy beams

Reflected from the eye

Of Him Whose wonders fill the earth,

Whose glory fills the sky.

Refrain

Another year has gone,

Another year begun;

To our Redeemer glory be

For all His love for me.

We thank His holy Name

For all His tender care,

We praise Him for the Sunday School,

And faithful teachers there.

Cold winter flies away,

The blushing, fairy spring

Comes tripping o'er the lees,

While birds are on the wing;

And now, a merry throng,

We come as glad as they;

Our banners waving in the air,

We hail our festive day.

Refrain

The straight and narrow path

O may we early find,

And try to serve the Lord

With heart, and soul, and mind;

O what a happy day,

And one that ne'er shall end,

In that bright world where angels sing,

We all with Him may spend!

Refrain
