The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7199

7199. Welcome Here

1. Come, join our throng today,
Come children, come to Sabbath School;
We learn to sing and pray,
Our rule the golden rule.

Refrain
Oh, welcome here,
This bright and holy Sabbath day,
Come join us in a song,
This holy Sabbath day.

2. Come, join with us to read
The Bible, Word of God to man;
Its lessons all we’ll need,
They teach salvation’s plan. [Refrain]

3. Come, wand’rer, join us here,
The Master, too, is calling thee;
Oh heed your Savior dear,
He says, Come learn of Me. [Refrain]
