Bird So Blithe

Author: Rev. A. Higginson Hymnal: The Service of Praise #33 (1900) First Line: O bird so blithe, O bird so blithe Lyrics: 1 O bird so blithe, O bird so blithe, How firm thy trust abideth! Thou sowest not, thou reapest not, And hoarded grain thou heapest not; Yet bird so blithe, O bird so blithe, God for thy wants provideth. 2 O lily fair, O lily fair, How sweet thy beauty’s story! Thou toilest not, thou spinnest not, And earthly honors winnest not; Yet lily fair, O lily fair, Thou art arrayed in glory. 3 O childhood bright, O childhood bright, How sweet the joy thou bringest, When, trustful as the bird in air, And simple as the lily fair, O childhood bright, O childhood bright, Thy happy song thou singest! 4 O bird in air, O bird in air, Think not of coming sorrow, The Father dear who loveth all, Doth bear thy wing, doth watch thy fall; So bird in air, O bird in air, Still leave to him the morrow. 5 O lily frail, O lily frail, How soon thy glory waneth! Up-springing with the morning glow, At evening’s breath thou liest low; Yet lily frail, O lily frail, Thy fragrance still remaineth. 6 O childhood brief, O childhood brief, Tho’ swift thy days pass by us, May thy firm trust, thy simple grace, Be aye our strength in manhood’s race; Then, childhood brief, O childhood brief, Thy joy shall still be nigh us.
