On Your Birthday

J-anuary fourth early morn,
E-vening shadows are gone; 
A-nother dawn is breaking, 
N-ew day has just begun.

K-ind and solicitous as you are, 
A-lmighty God in heaven has blessed
Y-ou with faith, hope, love, 
Z-eal, vigor, and sweet success.
E-ven though life is hard, Lord God shows you the way; 
L-et mirth and thrill dwell in your heart on your birthday.
