Representative Text

1 We are happy children
On this joyous day,
Birds are sweetly singing,
Flowers blooming gay.

Refrain:
Faithful loving children,
Ever we must be,
If we wish to serve Him
Thro’ eternity.

2 Let us then adore Him,
Christ, the Lord of all,
Gladly bring our off’rings,
Though they are but small. [Refrain]

3 We are happy children
Of the Heave’nly King,
Gladly let us serve Him,
Gladly let us sing. [Refrain]

4 Telling of His mercy,
And His wondrous love,
And the precious promise,
Of a home above. [Refrain]
