[Welcome, welcome, ev'ry guest]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Welcome, welcome, ev'ry guest,
Welcome to our music feast:
Music is our only cheer,
Fill both soul and ravish'd ear;
Sacred Nine, teach us the mood.
Sweetest notes to be explored.
Softly swell the trembling air,
To complete our concert fair.
