1 With loving hearts, O Lord, we bring
The fragrant incense of the flowers,
And on the altar of our King
We consecrate our noblest powers.
2 The lily's pure and simple dress,
The daisy's innocence so fair,
Are emblems of Thy holiness,
The sweet reminders of Thy care.
3 The birds Thy matchless glory sing,
The fields are white with waving corn,
The breezes heavenly incense bring
From all the fertile valleys borne.
4 The earth is breathing back to thee
The odours of the perfect flowers;
May all our lives as fruitful be
Amid the sunshine and the showers.
5 Thy gracious power on us bestow
To do Thy will and love Thy word,
Till we in fuller measure show
The joy and beauty of the Lord.
