1 The birds thro' all the woodlands stray,
Where gentle streams are flowing,
The birds thro' all the woodlands stray,
Where gentle streams are flowing,
And sing away The summer day,
And sing away The summer day.
2 They build their sheltering nest on high,
Where summer boughs are waving,
They build their sheltering nest on high,
Where summer boughs are waving,
When night is nigh, Then home they fly,
When night is nigh, Then home they fly.
3 So love and peace within one breast,
Have made their home so sweetly,
So love and peace within our breast,
Have made their home so sweetly,
No fears molest Our peaceful rest,
No fears molest our peaceful rest.
4 As sweetly glides our life away,
We chant our Maker's praises,
As sweetly glides our life away,
We chant our Maker's praises,
In grateful lay, From day to day,
In grateful lay, From day to day.
