Author: Eliza E. Hewitt Hymnal: Junior Songs #127 (1892) First Line: Flowers breathe their fragrance Refrain First Line: When thro' his mercy Lyrics: 1 Flowers breathe their fragrance,
Birds give their song,
Stars shine in beauty
All the night long,
Voices of nature
Praises repeat;
What can the children
Lay at his feet?
Chorus:
When thro' his mercy
Jesus we meet,
We will our bright crowns
Lay at his feet.
2 Thoughts pure and holy,
Words kind and true,
All gentle service,
Little hands do;
Work for our Master,
Joyful and sweet,
Prayer for his kingdom
Lay at his feet. [Chorus]
3 Faith that will trust him,
Hope that will smile,
Though clouds may cover
Blue skies awhile;
Hearts that will always
With his love beat;
Children, these treasures
Lay at his feet. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Flowers breathe their fragrance]
