M. REBECCA DARR.

1. Welcome, brothers, welcome ever
To our social, friendly band;
True and faithful, naught can sever
Brothers pledged in heart and hand,
Whilst our Order, reared in love, shall ever stand;
Whilst our Order, reared in love, shall ever stand.

2. Welcome, brothers, oh, how cheering
Is your presence in our band;
Strong in union, never fearing,
We will bless our home and land,
Till corruption, shall be pure at our command;
Till corruption shall be pure at our command.

3. Welcome, brothers, we were weary,
At your coming we rejoice,
As the grain fields, drooping, dreary,
Brighten at the rain cloud's voice;
Welcome, welcome, doubly welcome is your choice;
Welcome, welcome, doubly welcome is your choice.
