Subject(s): Birds


From out in the pines under my window
A dear little voice is calling to me.
A fluffy ball of black and gray feathers
And eyes that shine, is all that I can see.
The wind blows cold. The snow is falling.
The summer birds have all gone away.
"I am chick-a-dee-dee; I am out in this tree,"
I think this is what he is meaning to say.

Chick-a-dee-dee, Chick-a-dee-dee.
No matter how hard the wind may blow,
I will be near, just out in this tree,
Here under your window you may know.
Chick-a-dee-dee, I will stay with thee;
Hungry and cold I will not despair,
For my Heavenly Father watches o'er me,
And I am safe when under His care.

Stay with me always, dear little fellow,
Remind me again of that story of old --
How a sparrow falls not without His notice,
Although five birds for two farthings are sold --
How the ravens have no barn nor storehouse --
The lilies are clothed with gorgeous array --
He feedeth the birds and cares for the lilies --
Of how much more value are ye than they?
