1 Little birds of springtime, sweet and gay,
Singing all the sunny day,
Tell of Him who guides them thro’ the air,
Of the heav’nly Father’s care.

Refrain:
Trust Him, we hear them say,
Singing all the sunny day;
Trust Him, the children say,
And love and serve Him ev’ry day.

2 Loving praises we will gladly sing,
Glory to our Savior King;
He will always hear us when we pray;
He will help us ev’ry day. [Refrain]

3 If He kindly will the sparrow see,
He will care for thee and me;
If He gives the lily garments white,
He will keep us day and night. [Refrain]
