those are the only words I've ever heard to it!  We only do the b'racha, but 
on those occasions when I've heard people sing that "intro" they've used the 
above words (or maybe "our voices join in happy chorus".  What are the new 
ones?  Also, since one is not traditionally supposed to say Amen to one's own 
bracha, at the Schechter school where I work we replace the word Amen with 
"B'teyavon"  (Bon Appetit in hebrew)   
interesting to compare, isn't it...
