Elmhurst Hymnal ‎#52

52. God gives us the flowers, radiant flowers

1 God gives us the flow’rs, the radiant flow’rs;
What joy to our lives they bring!
With gladness they crown our brightest hours,
Inspiring our hearts to sing.

Refrain:
God gives us the flow’rs, the beautiful flow’rs,
His wonderful love to show;
And we may be flow’rs, His own bright flow’rs,
If true to His word we grow.

2 God gives us the flow’rs, the cheerful flow’rs:
Their lesson we all may read:
To smile thro’ the show’rs, life’s stormy show’rs,
And praise Him in word and deed. [Refrain]

3 God gives us the flow’rs, the pure, white flow’rs,
He careth for me and you;
His joy and His peace may both be ours!
If we are His children true. [Refrain]
