The Children Sing (1951), no. 87
Gladly Meeting, Kindly Greeting

1. Gladly meeting, kindly greeting, On this precious meeting day; Idle thoughts are all forsaken, Ev’ry seat is quietly taken; Let each heart to God awaken, While we sing and pray.

2. Gladly meeting, kindly greeting, Let us all unite in heart; While the throne we’re all addressing, And our evil ways confessing, Let us seek a heav’nly blessing, Ere we hence depart.

3. Gladly meeting, kindly greeting, As each meeting shall return, May our minds by study brighten, May our aspirations heighten, And may grace our souls enlighten, While we strive to learn.
