To and fro, to and fro,
Hear the tread of lit­tle child­ren,
As they go, as they go;
Busy march of bu­sy feet!
Here and there, ev­ery­where,
Joyous songs we’re sing­ing;
Loud and clear, full of cheer,
Happy tones are ring­ing.

Refrain

To and fro, to and fro,
Hear the tread of lit­tle child­ren,
As they go, as they go;
Busy march of bu­sy feet!

To and fro, to and fro,
Hear the tread of lit­tle child­ren,
As they go, as they go;
Busy march of bu­sy feet!
We will tell, we will tell,
Of the won­drous sto­ry,
While we raise songs of praise
To our Lord in glo­ry.

Refrain

To and fro, to and fro,
Heard the tread of lit­tle child­ren,
As they go, as they go;
Busy march of bu­sy feet!
Thro’ the world, thro’ the world,
Doing an­gels’ duty,
Bright and fair, bright and fair,
Clothed in an­gel beau­ty.

Refrain
