Reconciliation (Strong and Happy People)
Elbert A. Smith

        C          
When we learn to walk in kindness, 
       F                 C
Wear a smile, forget the frown,
        C                              G7
When we truly can forgive men full and free
      C                C7
Every small and bitter envy, 
      F              Cdim7     
Every malice trample down,
       D7               G7              C
What a strong and happy people we shall be.

Chorus:
       C      F
What a happy, happy,
       C                                G7
What a strong and happy people we shall be.
       C   C7 F   Cdim7
What a happy, happy,
       D7               G7              C   F  C
What a strong and happy people we shall be.

When no two of all our number, Lord,
Shall longer live in strife.
When we walk in love and mercy
        close to Thee,
We shall know a joyful service
We shall find abundant life.
What a strong and happy people we shall be.
