And may this friendly, gathering call,
A blessing prove to one and all.
Convened here, then, be this our aim,
To make each other glad we came;
In union these rich blessings share,
And say, ’Twas good that we were there.
Refreshed, we’d patiently pursue
This last part of our journey through.
On those who entertain these guests,
Would ask that they be doubly blest.
