This is a folk-song expressing joy in the lord. The words are based on
Philippians 4:4.
Although many children's choirs have sung it, it is appropriate with all age groups, and the tune has various arrangement options, both as a round, or straight through.
Many printed arrangements set it in the key of G, which makes some notes very high. The sheet music below drops it to F for this reason. Also, many printed versions sharpen the 2nd note in bars 3 and 7, but this has not been done here as it's not done in many of the recorded versions.
