Lyrics
(Evan Stephens, 1899)
With glad smiles we give you greeting,
On this pleasant sunny day,
Happy hearts together meeting,
Sends all gloomy thoughts away.
Welcome all to share each pleasure,
Which we may together feel,
Join us in each joyous measure,
Which our happy thoughts reveal.
Oh the joy of reuniting
In the song or merry play,
In the studies so inviting
That delight us day by day.
Welcome teachers kind and classmates,
Ever thus oh may we meet,
Ever merry, glad and smiling,
May we still each other greet.
