M. REBECCA DARR.
Arranged.
Solo obligato.

1. Bright, happy hours, with glowing treasure,
Outpouring freely their boundless measure;
The winds and sunbeams twine their greeting
To stay with joy their footsteps fleet;
Come while the gladsome sun is shining,

And chain the moments sweet with happy song;
Away with care, no sad repining,
While happy hours bring pleasures sweet.

CHORUS
Gaily sing, happy voices ring,
While fleeting moments bring
The joys we sweetly sing;
Though they die like the summer flow'ers
Sing till the list'ning hours
End with our song.

2. Bright, happy hours, oh, well-loved story!
They're telling ever the world's young glory;
And thro' life's stream of darkness stealing,
The light of love and joy reveal;
With them is Eden's joy returning,
Come chain the moments sweet with happy song;
They come to greet, the heart's deep yearning,
With pleasures that our cares conceal.

CHORUS.

1. Happy hours, with glowing treasure,
Freely pouring boundless measure;
Winds and sunbeams twine their greeting,
Stay with joy their footsteps fleet.
Come while gladsome sun is shining;
Chain the moments sweet with song;
A way with care, no sad repining,
Happy hours bring pleasures sweet.

Light of love and joy reveal.

Chain the moments sweet with song;
They come to greet the heart's deep yearning,
Pleasures that our cares conceal.
