1 Out in the woods where the big tress grow,
Hear the oriole call;
His is the message the world should know,
his is the life for all.
Come, let us learn of his buy ways,
Sing as he sings it, a song of praise,
Feeling his trust in the Father's care,
Shielding us eveywhere.
Hear the oriole call.

2 come to the woods where the soft winds blow;
Learn the oriole call;
There in the spaces our souls shall grow
Nearer the God of all.
Lifting our eyes to the distant height,
Praying for strength in our upward flight,
Soaring and singing our way along,
Leaving behind a song.
Hear the oriole call.
