Singing, sing­ing, light and free,
As the mer­ry birds are we;
For a pre­cious friend is near,
Bending now our song to hear.

Refrain

Very thank­ful we should be,
For a friend so dear as He;
Very thank­ful we should be,
For a friend so dear as He.

Singing, sing­ing all the day,
As the mo­ments glide away;
Ever grate­ful for His care
And the ten­der love we share.

Refrain

Singing, sing­ing, O how sweet,
Resting at the Sav­ior’s feet;
Looking up with joy­ful eyes,
To His dwell­ing in the skies.
