A Parents Address to His Firstborn Son On the Day of His Birth

Richard Dawson

[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 stranger

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]
Welcome
Welcome
Little stranger

Unexpected treasure
Welcome, welcome
Dear little stranger

Welcome to our house and home

[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]
Welcome
Welcome
Little stranger

Unexpected treasure
Welcome, welcome
Dear little stranger

Welcome to our house and home
