18. Little Bird

1 Little bird, little bird, singing in the tree,
Tell me pray, tell me pray, what your song may be?
Little child, little child, I will tell you true,
God is love, God is love, this I sing to you.

2 Little flower, little flower, in your dress so gay,
Tell me pray, tell me pray, what have you to say?
Little child, little child, I will tell you true,
God is love, God is love, He clothed me and you.

3 Pretty stars, pretty stars, shining all the night,
Tell my pray, tell me pray, why you look so bright?
Little child, little child, I will tell you true,
God is love, God is love, He bids us shine for you.

4 God is love, God is love, hear it ev’rywhere;
Ev’ry breeze through the trees sings it through the air.
Little child, little child, All things sing to you,
God is love, God is love, you must love Him too.
