If you know where to get a good photo of Green (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
There’s joy in the sunshine
And love in the air,
When Jesus we meet by the way;
His smile makes each blossom
More lovely and fair,
And so we are singing today.
Refrain
Singing today, singing today,
Singing glad songs
As we go on our way;
We’re singing today, singing today,
Singing the praises of Jesus today.
The beautiful flowers
Of grace daily grow,
In hearts that are free from all sin;
And Jesus will help us
The good seed to sow,
Because we are trusting in Him.
Refrain
Our souls are illumed
By the sunlight of God,
Our gifts at His altar we lay;
Our lives are made bright
By believing His Word,
And so we are singing today.
