Representative Text

1 On this night of joyous greeting,
Parents, teachers, children, come
Join us in our happy meeting,
In our blessèd Sabbath home.

Refrain:
Hear our voices, sweetly blending
In the praises of our Lord;
Notes so sweet to Heav’n ascending,
Angel voices might accord.

2 We are taught the wondrous story,
That for us the Savior came:
That we have a home in glory,
Purchased by the dying Lamb. [Refrain]

3 May our hearts to Him be given,
In our happy childhood days,
Travelers on the road to Heaven,
Cheer the way with songs of praise. [Refrain]
