What's the Second Verse to the Song Happy Birthday That Might Be Used in Your Church?

Asked Feb 16, 2010, 12:51 AM — 13 Answers
H, All!

I'm asking this question in the Christianity forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by Christians.

I've been involved with many different churches and denominations during my life. I've found that a number of different churches have second verses to the song "Happy Birthday" that seem to be unique to a particular church and maybe their denomination.

If you have a second verse to "Happy Birthday" that you use in your church, would you please share it here?

Thanks!

Surely someone must have experienced a second verse that might be Christian in nature?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, paraclete! But, I am looking for it concerning the birthdays of anyone. If it is about Jesus or some other figure in Christianity, that's okay too.

Thanks!

Second verse I have heard at one time. The pastor called the people who were having a birthday to the front of the church and the congregation sang Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you . Happy Birthday to you
May God's Love surround you. Happy Birthday to you

Hope I helped Clough!

My family has always sung the second verse as follows:

FIRST
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear ____,
Happy Birthday to you.

SECOND
May you have many more,
May you have many more,
Happy Birthday God Bless you,
May you have many more.

I don't know from where this came. It was just the norm for us.
