A bird's song in the winter,
Is a precious sound to hear;
It let's you know God is near,
And you have nothing to fear.

The bird's musical carol,
Is loud and long and strong;
During this blast of cold,
You know nothing is wrong.

He sings with faith and love,
His melody so sweet;
Praising our Lord,
With each and every tweet.

We should learn from winter's bird,
His faith in God is firm;
If we can hold such faith,
His love He will confirm.
