All the Happy Children

All the hap­py child­ren

glad­ly join our song

Rising to the Fa­ther

in a chor­us strong.

Birds are bright­ly sing­ing

leaves are op­en­ing wide

Flower bells are ring­ing forth on ev­ery side.

All the hap­py child­ren

glad­ly join our song

Rising to the Fa­ther

in a chor­us strong.

See the sky ab­ove us

spread so warm and blue

So God’s love is reach­ing ov­er me and you.

Father

dear we thank Thee for long sum­mer days

For the birds and flow­ers

for the gras­sy ways.

All the hap­py child­ren thank Thee

Fa­ther dear

For this day for child­ren out of all the year.

We will still re­mem­ber we are Thine alone;

He who made the sum­mer made us ev­ery one.
