All in the darkness

Representative Text

1 All in the darkness,
seeds have been growing,
Slowly, slowly, day and night;
Now in the sunshine,
blossoms are blowing
Glad and gay in the golden light.

2 Now in the happy
springtime weather
Sing the birds in sweet accord;
Children and birds
and flowers together,
All the world is praising God.
