CHILDREN’S SONGS

New Hymns and Fun Songs for Children — about God, about creation, about life and work and play.
DOWN A COUNTRY LANE IN THE SUMMERTIME Down a country lane in the summertime Where the grass grows green in the bright sunshine Goes a barefoot boy with a cheerful song While the bluebird warbles there the whole day long. "Tra-la-la, la, la, Trill-a-lee, lee, lee, There is none so glad and so free, free, free I will sing my song of love and cheer For my God sings with me in the sunshine here." From a fishing line on a bamboo pole Hangs the bright red bobber of the carefree soul As the lad joins in with the bluebird song: "I have not one worry here the whole day long. There's a friend who trots at his master's heels Who delights in sharing all the joy he feels, With a wagging tail and a lolling tongue And a happy yapping as the song is sung. ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2004 by Stanley K.

GO SOFTLY, CLOUDS OF NIGHT Go softly, clouds of night Above my quiet head The shining angels bright Watch o'er my bed Watch o'er my peaceful bed. Shine brightly, stars above, Speak of our truest Friend The Father whose great love Will never end His love will never end. Oh, whisper, gentle wind In rising, falling breath New heav'nly rumors lend, The pure and best The purest and the best. ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2004 by Stanley K.

HE CAME AS A LITTLE LAMB He is our mighty Creator, He's the everlasting "I AM" He's the only true Good Shepherd, But He came as a little Lamb. He made the weak and helpless sheep With lambs so sweet and silly... But died as a sacrificial Lamb, To prove He loves us really. He is our mighty Creator, But He made Himself a man; He's the Lion of the tribe of Judah, But He came as a little Lamb. He made the sheep with coats of white And cuddly lambs all wooly... But died as a sacrificial Lamb, To make us wholly holy. He is our mighty Creator, But a helpless child He came; He's the Judge of all the wicked, But He came as a little Lamb. Born in a stable, in a manger laid, Because He was so lowly... He died as a sacrificial Lamb, The love of God to show me. ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2002 by Stanley K. Brubaker; all rights reserved.

HELLO, LITTLE OAK LEAF Hello, little oak leaf, What would you say? Tell me a tale of a bright summer day? Under the heavens of crystalline blue, Growing so high on a tree strong and true-- Man has not made such a wonder as you! Hello, little oak leaf, high over all, Sway through the springtime, the summer, the fall, Play with the squirrels, wash in the dew; God placed you here on a tree strong and true-- Man has not made such a wonder as you! ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2005 by Stanley K.

HUSH, MY CHILD, AND CALM YOUR CRYING Hush, my child, and calm your crying, Peace be with you through the night; Slumber deep and satisfying Bless you till the morning bright. Close your eyes, my precious wee one*, Still your soul from all you dread; Gentle be your childish dreamings, Angels guard your quiet bed. Jesus loves you, dearest (child's name)** Loves His little one to keep; He is with you, my dear (child's name)**-- Peaceful, pleasant, be your sleep. Hush, my darling, cease your sorrow, Calmly enter into rest; Soothe your heart, You'll find the morrow Beautiful and bright and blest. ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 1997 by Stanley K.

I'M A HAPPY LITTLE TURTLE I'm a happy little turtle, and I take a step or two, One... two... three... Do you think I'm discontented 'cause I'm not as swift as you? Come and see; I have something very special, God has given me a shell! There is nothing on earth like it, And it suits me very well. I'm a happy little turtle, and I take a step or two, One... two... three.... I'm a hoppy lively rabbit and I make a leap for you, Hippityhop, lippitylop, hippityhop; If you think my ears look funny, you should see what they can do, Up, turnaround, down! Yes, my ears are two antennas, They can hear you when you say, "Look, a hoppy lively rabbit, But he's hopping far away!" I'm a hoppy lively rabbit and I make a leap for you, Hippityhop, lippitylop, hippityhop; ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2003 by Stanley K.

I'M GOIN' CAMPING I'm goin' camping with my papa, We're goin' camping, Papa and I, We'll pitch a tent beside the pine tree Under the open sky, We'll have a campfire in the night, Pine logs a-cracklin', burning bright, Under the open sky I'm goin' fishing with my sonny boy, We're goin' fishing, Sonny and I, In our canoe on the bright blue waters, Under the open sky, When we've caught all the fish we need We'll fry some taters and we'll feast indeed, Under the open sky. I'm goin' hiking with my Papa, We're goin' hiking, Papa and I, Up in the slopes, and down through the woodland, Under the open sky, We'll see the animals that run and fly, We'll have a lot of fun, my Papa and I, Under the open sky. __________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2001 by Stanley K.

LULLABY, BABY, SWEET BE YOUR SLUMBER Lullaby, baby, sweet be your slumber, Blessings of love as you lay down your head; All of your dreamings heaven will number, Beautiful angels will shelter your bed. Jesus has told us He loves little children, Sweetly He called them to stand at His knee, Told them bright stories, blest them, and held them, Teaches them gently to live lovingly. Trust Him, and love Him, obey Him and praise Him, Dream of Him here, as you lie on your bed; Lullaby, baby, sweet be your slumber, Blessings of love on your innocent head. __________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 1997 by Stanley K.

THE FATHER LOVES The Father loves each boy and girl That He has placed in this great world, Each infant, child, woman, man With love we cannot comprehend. He loves with love so deep and wide It bled from Jesus' pierced side, It shed the tears of deep distress That we might be forever blest. Can I receive such love divine And not return this love of mine? In ev'ry word, in ev'ry thought, I'll strive to live as He has taught. ___________________________________ Words copyrighted 1974 by Stanley K.

A 3-part “Round” about God’s wonderful love
WHOSE HAND MADE THE MOUNTAIN? Whose hand made the mountain? Whose hand poured the sea? Whose hand made the mighty earth So suited to me? Chorus: I'm sure it was God's great hand, I know it was His; His hand made ev'rything That was, will be, and is. Whose hand in the realms of space Spread wonders afar? Whose hand in a distant place Put each glowing star? Whose hand made the flowers grow With petals so bright? Whose hand made the sparkling snow, Each crystal so white? Whose hand made the trees to grow High into the air? Whose hand made the beasts and birds With colors so rare? Whose hand made the fish to swim Through river and sea? Whose hand in His image made A person like me? ___________________________________ Words and music copyrighted 2003 by Stanley K. Brubaker; all rights reserved.
