1 Wondrous are the mercies daily sent from heav’n,
Love is like a banner bright unfurled;
Strive to share the blessings that the King has giv’n,
Help to make a happy world.

Refrain:
Help to make a happy world,
Help to make a happy world;
In the blessed service you may have a share,
Help to make a happy world.
Help to make a happy world,
Help to make a happy world;
In the blessed service you may have a share,
Help to make a happy world.

2 Though the clouds of evil lower dark and drear,
Pow’rs of sin shall all be downward hurled;
Help to win the vict’ry by a word of cheer,
Help to make a happy world. [Refrain]

3 Joyous in the service of the King of love,
Let His blessed banner be unfurled;
Spread afar the sunshine of His wondrous love,
Help to make a happy world. [Refrain]
