(sung to the tune of “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus”)

Rejoice, rejoice all kindred!
Reunion time again
When hearts are overflowing
To see our folks again.
When families are united
They come from far and near.
And we are just delighted
To be with you again.

Rejoice, rejoice all kindred!
We look for you each year.
Ring out the sweetest message
That friends would like to hear.
Be sure to bring your baskets
And join in all the treats.
For it will he just fun
To see how much we eat.

Rejoice, rejoice all kindred!
October is the time.
Come join our happy kindred
And kiss dear ones again.
Put on your happy faces
And join this happy band.
Be sure to come all kindred
For you are very dear.
