My bet is that I Often Go Walking is most likely the TOP Mother’s Day Primary Songs pick from the Children’s Songbook. I was gauging other’s reactions and which songs they were picking this year and I was a little surprised how frequently this song is mentioned! You can easily teach it for the first time using my I Often Go Walking flip charts below!

This is the last one from the set of Mother’s Day flip charts I’m adding to my Master List of Primary Singing Time Flip Charts this year!

But don’t miss all the printable options in that massive list for all the songs you are teaching this year.

And, for another super helpful resources, make sure you go see all my tips and tricks for using flip charts for Primary singing time. I share lots of genius little hacks to make using flipcharts easier than ever!

Verse 1:
I often go walking in meadows of clover,
And I gather armfuls of blossoms of blue.
I gather the blossoms the whole meadow over;
Dear mother, all flowers remind me of you.
Verse 2:
O mother, I give you my love with each flower
To give forth sweet fragrance a whole lifetime through;
For if I love blossoms and meadows and walking,
I learn how to love them, dear mother, from you.
