[Verse 1]
What rich fountains of affection
Thou has opened in each breast
Flowing both in one direction
To the one that we love best
[Chorus]
Welcome
Welcome
Little stranger
Unexpected treasure
Welcome, welcome
Dear little strange
Welcome to our house and home
[Verse 2]
Fondly now we look upon thee
And marvel at thy gaze so clear
Like stars reflecting on the water
That floweth through time to carry you here
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
But what perils thou must pass through
As each approaching day shall flower
First born son may grace protect you
Scatheless in temptation's eye
[Chorus]
