English term or phrase: Good Morning Friends
I'm translating a short good morning song into Japanese. The whole song is:

Good morning Friends
Good morning Friends
Good morning Friends
It's nice to see you


How would l say Good morning, Friends (?)

It could be Hello, Friends
or Good Day, Friends
or Hello Everyone

or anything that fits the music.
The music can be found at the link below.
I'm singing the whole song in English.
