1st verse:]

For ev'ry care there's an angel

Who makes the care seem small

For ev'ry pray'r there's an answer

From One Who answers all



[chorus:]

The flowers pray'd for sunshine

So God gave the flowers the Sun



The birds pray'd to be merry

So God gave a song to each one



The trees pray'd for the Springtime

So God gave the Spring to each tree



My lonely heart pray'd for someone

So God gave you to me



[2nd verse:]

For ev'ry heart there is gladness

When eyes are wet with tears

For ev'ry care there's an answer

From one Who always hears
