Representative Text

1 All little children should laugh and be glad,
Happily smiling each day;
Bright’ning the lives of the weary and sad,
Driving all care away.
We are so happy, we are so happy,
We are so happy to-day

Chorus:
Happy, happy we are so happy,
We are happy, happy to-day;
Happy, happy we are so happy,
We are happy to-day.

Alternative Chorus:
Praise Him, praise Him, now we will praise, Him
We will praise Him, praise, Him to-day
Praise Him, Praise Him, now we will praise Him
Happily praise Him to-day

2 If we are here, ev’ry one in his place,
Happily smiling each day;
Jesus will love us and grant us His grace,
Gilding us all the way.
Jesus will guide us, Jesus will guide us
Jesus will guide us to-day. [Chorus]

3 God is so good and so kind to us all,
HCaring for us ev'ry day'
Now we will praise Him, altho’ we are small,
Happily praise Him to-day
Happily praise Him, happily praise Him,
Happily praise Him to-day
