עָלֵינו קָראתָ.

Translation:

You have chosen us from all peoples; you have loved us and taken pleasure in us, and have exalted us above all tongues; you have sanctified us by your commandments, and brought us near unto your service, O our King, and have called us by your great and holy name.

Translation based on The Standard Prayer book by Simeon Singer (1915) (public domain)

Information:

This song is usually sung in shalosh regalim - Pesach, Shavuot and Sucot. And it is surely appropiate for all holidays in general and times of Simcha...
