In the Time of Birds and Blossoms

Verse 1

Chorus

Welcome, welcome Children’s Day, Happy, happy Children’s Day; In the time of birds and blossoms Comes the welcome Children’s Day.

Verse 2

When the roses scent the breezes Which among them softly stray, And when arching skies are bluest, Comes the welcome Children’s Day.

Verse 3

When the merry birds are singing Over nests their sweetest lay, Filling woodlands green with music, Comes the welcome Children’s Day.

Verse 4

When all nature is rejoicing Children’s voices, fresh and gay, In the Savior’s praise are blending On their welcome festal day.
