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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
