250. Sing, Happy Birds

1 Sing, happy birds, your melodies of praise,
Sweeter than words, glad notes of music raise,
Join in the hymn, with loving voices bring
Praise to our God above, Ruler, Lord and King.

Refrain:
Sing, happy birds, give praise to God above,
Blend with your song our tribute of unfailing love,
Oh sing, happy birds, yes, sing in glad accord,
Tribute of praise, and worship to our Lord.

2 Far overhead blue skies of Summer shine,
Brightly they shed their golden light divine,
But in our hearts, this happy Children’s Day,
Shines the diviner Light, with its heav’nly ray. [Refrain]

3 Sing ev’ry bird, beneath the Summer sky,
Each note is heard by One Who rules on high,
All charm and light, all music, joy and cheer,
Come from His loving hand to His children here. [Refrain]
