103. The Busy Workers

1 Hear the little workers,
Buzzing in the hives,
Making honey rich and sweet,
Such busy little lives!

Buzzing, buzzing,
Hear the busy song,
Buzzing, buzzing, as they work along,
Caring not for idle play,
Thro’ the happy summer day,
They toil and buzz and work away.

2 Hear them in the garden,
Humming o’er the flowers,
Sipping nectar from their cups
All thro’ the sunny hours.

Buzzing, buzzing,
Hear the busy song,
Buzzing, buzzing, as they work along,
Caring not for idle play,
Thro’ the happy summer day,
They toil and buzz and work away.

3 We are little workers,
For our Savior King,
Truest service, purest love,
To him we’ll ever bring.

Buzzing, buzzing,
Hear the busy song,
Buzzing, buzzing, as we work along,
Caring not for idle play,
Thro’ the happy summer day,
They toil and buzz and work away.
