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,

Away with care, no sad repining,
While happy hours bring pleasures sweet.

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.

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.
