Let Youth Praise Him ‎#14

14. Rock-a-Bye Birdie

1 Rock-a-bye birdie, up in your nest,
Bright gleams the sunshine over your head,
Looking from heaven, God safely keeps
Even a birdie, in its wee bed.

Chorus:
Rock-a-bye birdie, up in the tree,
Singing God's praises all the day long;
Unto the Father, loving and true,
We, too, would raise our jubilant song.

2 Rock-a-bye birdie, hear the winds blow,
Tossing the green leaves under your feet,
O'er the earth floating, telling his love,
Making the June-tide wondrously sweet. [Chorus]

3 Rock-a-bye birdie, through the long hours,
Serving the Father in your small way;
We would be like you, happy and glad,
Singing His praises day after day. [Chorus]
