1 Cheerily, cheerily, swell the glad song,
Joy’s golden sunshine doth glow;
Streamlets are rippling o’er meadow and vale,
Telling God’s love as they flow.

Refrain:
Merrily sing, cheerily sing,
Gladness and joy everywhere;
Sunshine and love, gifts from above,
Make the whole world bright and fair.

2 Merrily, merrily, let the notes ring,
Nature is smiling and gay;
Bring the red roses, the queen of all flow’rs,
Low on His altars to lay. [Refrain]

3 Cheerily, cheerily, swell the glad song,
Scatter the sunshine of love,
Ever reflecting the life-giving rays
Sent from the Father above. [Refrain]
