Happy Day.

BY P. H. SWEETSER.
TUNE — Old Dan Tucker.

We greet with joy this happy day,
And we will drive dull care away;
Hearts full of cheer we'll never fear,
While we for Temperance appear.

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! swell the chorus,
Happy days are yet before us!

The Temp'rance cause we dearly love,
Our vow is registered above;
United all in heart and hand,
Oh, are we not a happy band?

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! &c.

From morn to noon, from noon to night,
O may the cause our hearts delight;
And when our daily task is o'er,
We'll sing the song we sung before.

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! &c.

The Temp'rance Star is rising high,
It shines in splendor from the sky;
Its beams shall light the drunkard's cot,
And pierce the darkness of his lot!

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! &c.

O we will love the Temp'rance Pledge,
It blesses youth and riper age;
It gives to all the joys of home,
An earnest of the peace to come!

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! &c.

And science fair, and learning bright
Shall shed a pure and holy light;
And Temp'rance, Love, and Liberty,
Our watchword ever more shall be!

Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! &c.
