Beautiful Flowers

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #578 (1908) First Line: We should be like gardens Refrain First Line: Beautiful flow'rs, beautiful flow'rs Lyrics: 1 We should be like gardens, Bright and sweet with flow'rs, Bless'd with heaven's sunshine, Cheer'd by gentle show'rs; Violets are the kind words, Roses, deeds of love, Fragrant pinks and pansies, Tho'ts of God above. Chorus: Beautiful flow'rs, beautiful flow'rs, Bright with morning dew; Beautiful flow'rs, beautiful flow'rs, We would be like you. 2 Not a frown of anger, Not a shade of care, Not one look of sadness Do the blossoms wear; They are always trusting, This is how they grow Beautiful and fragrant, In a world of woe. [Chorus] 3 Selfish tho'ts and wishes, Unkind words and deeds, Are like cruel brambles, Thistles, thorns, and weeds; Kind tho'ts are the sweetest, Loving words the best, Yielding hope and comfort, Joy, and peace, and rest. [Chorus] 4 Jesus has a garden, Fill'd with children sweet; We would be among them, Bowing at his feet, Drinking in life's waters, Growing by his grace, Like the flowers, looking Up into his face. [Chorus] Topics: Children's Hymns; Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [We should be like gardens]
