185. We wish you many happy returns of the day!

1 We wish you many happy returns of the day!
We hope you may be health and strong all the way,
Strong to do right,
Slow to do wrong,
And thoughtful of others all the day long.

2 We wish you many happy returns of the day!
May God the Lord protect you in work and in play,
Watching in love
All that you do
And leading your footsteps all the year through.
