Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDCDC EFEFE GHGHG IJIKI| The world is sweet and fair and bright | A |
| And joy aboundeth everywhere | B |
| The glorious stars crown every night | A |
| And thro' the dark of ev'ry care | B |
| Above us shineth heaven's light | A |

| If from the cradle to the grave | C |
| We reckon all our days and hours | D |

| For ev'ry one no matter who | G |
| Or what their lot or high or low | H |

| Fills more of life far more of years | J |
| And makes the reign of sorrow brief | I |
| Gives more of smiles for less of tears | K |
| Joy is life's tree grief but its leaf | I |
