The Master's Praise ‎#46

46. Happy Are We

1 Merry the hearts that have gathered to-day;
Happy are we, happy are we;
Cheerily sing we, this beautiful day;
Happy, yes, happy are we.

Refrain:
Merrily, merrily gather we here;
Hearts overflowing with pleasure and cheer;
Let us rejoice in the Savior so dear;
Happy, yes, happy are we.

2 Like the dear birdlings that sing all the day;
Happy are we, happy are we;
Tho' we're but youthful yet each heart can say;
Happy, yes, happy are we. [Chorus]

3 Over the river we'll meet you again;
Happy we'll be, happy we'll be;
Ever with Jesus in heaven to reign;
Happy, yes, happy we'll be. [Chorus]
