Purity

1 The saints shall wear robes as the lilies
When Jesus, returning again,
Shall bring back the rose to the valleys,
And plant the fruit trees on the plain.

Refrain:
Then praise ye the Lord forever and aye,
For glory and honor are His;
With songs and flowers we'll strew the glad way,
For roses and lilies are His.

2 By the side of the murmuring waters
The roses in beauty shall grow,
And Zion, adorning her daughters,
Shall dress them in lilies of snow. [Refrain]

3 Her walls shall be covered with roses,
Her streets be with violets lined,
Her temples shall glitter with jewels,
The columns with lilies be twined. [Refrain]

4 Our Father, who clotheth the lilies
And giveth the roses their hue,
Will watch o'er his flocks in the valleys,
His word and his counsel are true. [Refrain]

5 Then let us be pure as the lily,
And joyous and glad as the rose,
That when Jesus selecteth his jewels
In Zion we'll find our repose. [Refrain]
