1. Welcome to all who gather here this day

To hear God's Word and to learn his way

Life-giving truth he offers to us all;

With thankfulness of heart, we respond to his call



2. Thanks to our God for brothers such as these

Who welcome us and who seek to please

May we keep holding men of that sort dear

And now we welcome others

Who meet with us here



3. God's invitation reaches all mankind

That all sincere ones the truth may find

God by his Son has drawn us to His side

So welcome one another with hearts opened wide
