Children’s Day, bright and gay:
How we love thy charm­ing lay;
How thy light, in its flight,
Fills us with de­light.
Thou hast joys ev­er sweet,
For the child­ren when they meet,
When we sing and we bring
Tributes to our king.

Refrain

Children’s Day, bright and gay:
How we love thy charm­ing lay;
How thy light, in its flight,
Fills us with de­light.

Woodland choir tunes its lyre,
And its notes our hearts in­spire;
Breezes blow, per­fumes flow,
Freshness to be­stow:
Hills and dales sweet­ly dance,
Nature’s mirth­ful hosts ad­vance,
All unite, with their might,
Making mo­ments bright.

Refrain

On this day we’ll dis­play,
All our ban­ners in ar­ray;
We will raise, by God’s grace,
Means to sound His praise,
Funds to aid learn­ing youth;
Means to fur­ther Gos­pel truth;
In His name, we will claim,
Funds to spread His fame.

Refrain

‘Tis a treat, thus to meet,
And the Son of God to greet,
As He stands, in all lands,
Blessing all our bands:
We will raise glad­some sound,
For the trea­sure we have found,
For the grace, which we trace
In the Sav­ior’s face.
