Text: | Consider the Lilies |
Author: | E. L. Thompson |
Tune: | [Consider the lilies, behold how they grow] |
Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 Consider the lilies, behold how they grow,
Nor toiling, nor spinning, nor worry they know,
Yet Solomon with all his glory displayed,
Compared to the lilies, was poorly arrayed.
Refrain:
Consider the lilies, consider the lilies,
Behold how they grow for their Maker above!
They change earthly spoil into heavenly beauty,
Thus speaking to men a sweet message of love.
2 Together they rest in their thrice lowly beds,
And peacefully lift up their beautiful heads;
They speak to the world of the Father above,
And clear is the message to hearts filled with love. [Refrain]
3 There, deep in the silence, forgotten they lie
Until a bright sunbeam sent down from the sky,
Disturbing their slumbers, all joyfully cries;
“The day dawns for lilies, arise ye, arise!” [Refrain]
4 O child of the Lord, tho’ obscure be thy place,
Rejoice in the gift of His wonderful grace;
The lowly and faithful exalted shall be
When Jesus in glory triumphant they see. [Refrain]
