Welcome to the family, We are glad that you have come To share your life with us, As we grow in love, And may we always be to you What God would have us be, A family always there, To be strong and to lean on. May we learn to love each other More with each new day, May words of love be on our lips In ev'ry thing we say. May the Spirit melt our hearts, And teach us how to pray, That we might be a true family.
