Easter Lilies

1 Lilies of Easter,
Wondrously fair,
Breathing thy sweetness
On the still air;
What is the message
Ye would impart,
Into the silence
Of the sad heart.

Refrain:
Beautiful Easter Lilies,
Bring to our hearts the word,
Of One more fair and lovely,
Jesus, the risen Lord;
Beautiful Easter Lilies,
Bring to our hearts the word,
Of One more fair and lovely,
Jesus, the risen Lord;

2 Hark to the whispers
Of the fair bloom,
Risen from silence
Of their dark tomb;
“We bring an answer
To doubt and strife,
We bring a message
Of risen life.” [Refrain]

3 Out from the stillness
Of the dark mold,
Into new beauty,
Lilies unfold;
Ever their presence
In the still air,
Are signs and symbols
Of life most fair. [Refrain]
