Bright valleys crown'd with flowers, Gay birds on soaring wing, Incite our tuneful powers, Then cheerily, cheerily sing, We'll sing. 2 In sweet harmonious measures We'll praise creation's King; The author of our pleasures, Will gratefully, gratefully sing,--We'll sing. Although some grief may wound us With agonizing sting, Yet blessings still surround us, Then joyfully, joyfully sing, We'll sing. 3 The God of consolation Relief will quickly bring; He promises salvation, So hopefully, hopefully sing,--We'll sing.
