Ollerenshaw Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: From meadow, and from garden Lyrics: 1 From meadow, and from garden We cull the flow'rs of earth, And bring them to the footstool Of him who gave them birth. That by their gentle fragrance, Their colors pure and bright, They may show forth the praises Of Christ, our Lord and Light. 2 Yet for a tend'rer service These flow'rets we prepare; For worn and weary suff'rers As tokens of God's care. As messengers of comfort, When faith and hope are dim, For he who clothes the lilies, Bids them still trust in him. 3 These earthly flow'rs fading Yet are they emblems sweet Of everlasting flowers, For heaven's high service meet; Of love, and hope, and patience, Of faith, and joyful praise; Oh, Saviour, make their fragrance ours E'en in our youthful days.
