Verse 1
Birds are singing, flow’rbells ringing, On the Children’s Day in June; Voices blending, songs ascending, Happy hearts are all in tune.
Chorus
Bring the blossoms, smiling blossoms, Pinks and daisies, lilies fair; Love’s sweet off’ring, willing off’ring, Consecrated lives shall bear.
Verse 2
Roses blushing, streamlets gushing, Sunbeams glancing from above; Waving banners, glad hosannas, Tell our gratitude and love.
Chorus
Bring the blossoms, smiling blossoms, Pinks and daisies, lilies fair; Love’s sweet off’ring, willing off’ring, Consecrated lives shall bear.
Verse 3
Hearts are burning, lessons learning From the birds, the brooks, the flow’rs; Joy and beauty wait on duty, Say the summer’s balmy hours.
Chorus
Bring the blossoms, smiling blossoms, Pinks and daisies, lilies fair; Love’s sweet off’ring, willing off’ring, Consecrated lives shall bear.
Verse 4
Blessed Savior, grant Thy favor, While our loving praises swell; Then Thy children, trusting children, Shall Thy grace and goodness tell.
Chorus
Bring the blossoms, smiling blossoms, Pinks and daisies, lilies fair; Love’s sweet off’ring, willing off’ring, Consecrated lives shall bear.
