One Day in May

One day in May
The bloom and sweet scents of happiness
Transport on the breeze of the morn
Blows softly as a sigh to her ear
We give you all the glorious beauty of the year
Today is the birthday of your life

One day in May
She rises to the birds on the wing
Looks for God's tender mercies in the wistful dawn
Hears the soft pensive echo from the ethereal hill
The spring early light is sweet to thee
To see the morning side of your life this day

One day in May
When evening tinct sets on the western shores
As sleep invites soft purl dreams
With ever tender voice she blesses the Lord
His canopy of love to curtain over
A daughter of His eternal spring
