14606. Easter Lilies

1 Lilies of Easter, wondrously fair,
Breathing thy sweetness, on the still air;
What is the message ye would impart,
Into the silence of saddened hearts?

Refrain:
Beautiful Easter lilies,
Bring to our hearts the word,
Of One more fair and lovely,
Jesus the risen Lord;
Beautiful Easter lilies,
Bring to our hearts the word,
Of One more fair and lovely,
Jesus the risen Lord.

2 Hark to the whispers of the fair bloom,
Risen from silence of their dark tomb;
"We bring an answer to doubt and strife,
We bring a message of risen life." [Refrain]

3 Out from the stillness of earth’s dark mold,
Into new beauty, lilies unfold;
Ever their presence in the still air,
Are signs and symbols of life most fair. [Refrain]
