| Text: | Welcome Song |

| Tune: | [Bright gleams of sunshine fill valleys fair] |
| Composer: | C. Austin Miles |
1 Bright gleams of sunshine fill valleys fair,
Glad songs of joy are heard ev'rywhere;
All nature seems rejoicing to say,
"O welcome, Children's Day."
Chorus:
Our voices raise
in notes of praise,
With bright songs ringing,
Our tribute bringing
To Christ our King,
Whose love we sing,
We'll praise him ever for the Children's Day.
2 O welcome, welcome, bright, golden hours
With song of birds and perfume of flow'rs,
Our hearts and lives we joyfully bring
An off'ring to our King. [Chorus]
3 Our all we bring, our tribute of love
To Christ our King now reigning above;
We'll serve him now and praise evermore,
The One whom we adore. [Chorus]
4 O Jesus, Saviour, thee we adore,
We'll praise thy holy name evermore;
We'll serve thee ever, bringing to thee
Our lives, thine own to be. [Chorus]
