English text

Merrily sing our happy evening song,
Cheerily now the joyful notes prolong;
Heartily join our cheerful, happy throng,
Merrily sing, merrily, merrily sing.
Chase away all care and sadness,
Swell the anthem loud and long;
Lift your hearts to joy and gladness,
With the echoes of our song;

Then, sing our happy evening song;
Cheerily now the joyful notes prolong;
Heartily join our cheerful, happy throng,
Merrily sing, Merrily, merrily sing.

Joyfully sing the chorus now we raise,
Crowning the night with music’s grandest lays;
Singing will bless and brighten all our days,
Merrily sing, merrily, merrily sing.
Music is a golden treasure,
Beauty dwells in every sound;
Joy is found in every measure,
Let its pleasures now abound;

J. H. Fillmore
