Meter: Irregular Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunny days of childhood, Beautiful ye seem, Fair as spring-tide flowers, Bright as summer's beam. Days with joy o'erflowing, Care nor sadness knowing, Must ye pass away? 2 Precious days of childhood! Days of promise fair; If bedewed with wisdom, Rich the fruits ye bear. Jesus' footsteps keeping, Blest shall be our reaping In life's harvest day. 3 Happy days of childhood, Swiftly moving on; Into manhood changing Ye will soon be gone, Like a streamlet flowing, Pause nor stillness knowing, Thus ye pass away! 4 Sunny days of childhood! We no tear will shed When, like spring-tide flowers, Youth and health are fled. Earthly scenes forsaking, We shall hail the breaking Of an endless day. Amen. Used With Tune: LUX
