159. Happy Children

1 We are happy children,
For this day is ours—
This whole day of sunshine,
Joy and songs and flow’rs.

Refrain:
Children’s Day, Children’s Day,
Day to all so bright,
Free from sadness, full of gladness,
Pleasure and delight.

2 Gifts of fragrant flowers
Unto Christ we bring;
For this day was given
By our loving King. [Refrain]

3 In his blessed presence,
Gathered round his feet,
We will sing his praises—
Sing with joy complete. [Refrain]

4 Savior, keep us faithful,
Let us never stray,
Then we shall be always
Happy as today. [Refrain]
