1 On the green branches in the dim forest,
Where the breezes gently go,
Wee little birds in wee little cradles
Trustfully swing to and fro.
2 Beautiful stars in heaven are shining,
Twinkling softly far away.
Beautiful blossoms gladden the meadows—
God is near by night and day.
3 When the dark shadows gather about us,
When the morning gilds the sky,
Blessed Lord Jesus, guard us and keep us,
Thou good Shepherd from on high.
Amen.
