Today will be a happy day
   If, first you find some time to pray;
If, first, alone you go apart
   From worldly things, and in your heart
You make resolve to do your best
   And then to God you leave the rest.

For God will take the hate and fear
   Of yesterday and yesteryear
And in their place, He'll make you feel
   The light and love He would reveal.
Yes, this will be a hapy day
   If, friend, right now you'll stop and pray.
