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

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

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

CHORUS.
