The Sun Is Shining Brightly (Flored de Mayo) Lyrics

The sun is shining brightly

The trees are clothed in green

The beauteous bloom of flowers

On every side is seen

The fields are gold and emerald

And all the world is gay

For 'tis the month of Mary

The lovely month of May

There's music in the heavens

For birds are singing there

And nature's songs and praises

Are sounding through the air

And we with hearts o'erflowing

With joy, we sing today

For `tis the month of Mary

The lovely month of May

And when night closes o'er us

And twinkling stars appear

The chaste moon calmly reigneth

In skies so bright and clear

Oh, how that sight reminds us

Of heaven far away

Where reigns, o'er saint and angels

Our lovely Queen of May

O Mary, dearest mother

We sing a hymn to thee

Thou art the Queen of heaven

Thou, too, our Queen shall be

With Jesus next beside thee

We humbly beg from thee

Oh, rule and safely guide us

Unto eternity

O Mary, dearest mother

We sing a hymn to thee

O lovely Queen of May
