If in your heart you would know no re­gret

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.

Others near by you may be in des­pair

Struggling ’neath cross­es so hea­vy to bear;

They may take heart

if you show that you care—

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.

O sing a glad song on your way;

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day;

right where you are

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.

Is your life dark­ened by hopes that were vain?

Go help ano­ther his goal to at­tain!

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.

Do not complain that you’ve no­thing to give

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day;

Do your whole du­ty

and preach as you live

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.

Though you have on­ly a smile

or a flower

Give it

and speak of His love

of His pow­er;

You may cheer many a pain-wea­ry hour—

Make some­bo­dy hap­py to­day.
