Triumphant Songs No.4 ‎#18

18. Snow Flakes

1 Tiny little snow-flakes,
Sailing thro’ the air,
Where can you be going?
Will you tell me where?
From your cloud land harbor,
Downward drifting slow,
Like a fleet of fairy sails,
On and on you go.

Refrain:
Merry little snowflakes
How you dance and play,
Just like happy children
On a holiday.
Rushing fast and faster,
Skipping here and there;
Have you any work to do
In the wint’ry air?

2 Busy little snowflakes,
Now your work I’ve found,
Weaving soft white carpet
For the cold, hard ground;
Folding all the wheat fields
In your blankets deep,
Keeping them all safe and warm,
For their winter sleep. [Refrain]

3 Happy little snow-flakes,
Turning work to play,
I have learned a lesson,
Watching you today;
If I do my duty
Faithfully and true,
Work will seem like play, and I
Shall be glad as you. [Refrain]
