The Little Minstrel ‎#125

125. Invitation

1 Come, come along, unite in our song,
With cheerful voices ringing;
On this happy day we're joyful and gay,
Like birds in spring-time singing.

2 All keeping time while chanting the rhyme,
And melody rehearsing;
With harmony sweet and style so complete,
All gloomy cares dispersing.

3 Each happy heart may here share a part
In rich and lasting treasure;
Then come, come along, unite in our song,
There's joy in every measure.

4 Better than wealth, so good for your health,
This merry recreation,
Then do not delay, or loiter to play,
Come, heed the invitation.
