Oh! Blessed, happy Children's Day,
So full of joy and pleasure,
We welcome you with flowers gay,
And gladness without measure;
The springtime has returned again,
The streams of life are flowing,
And God has sent the gentle rain
To keep all Nature growing,
And some day in the better land,
When Children's Days are over,
We shall go home to understand
The mysteries now which hover
Around our pathway here below
These clouds of sin and sorrow;
For we shall surely see and know
A happy, glad tomorrow
Oh Blessed, happy Children's Day!
God bless our land and nation;
God bless the children far away,
For all are his creation.
God bless our Nazareth Sunday
School,
Pastor, superintendent, teachers
and friends,
And may we practice the Golden
Rule
Till our pilgrim journey ends.
