See the Lilies, How They Grow

Author: Rev. M. W. Stryker Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the lilies, how they grow, Ne’er was king apparelled so, Never yet was vocal tune Like their melodies of June. Yet they neither toil nor spin, God’s good care they flourish in. All our faithlessness He quells, In these summer bridal bells. 2 God, who clothes the lilies white, In their music has delight, Heeds their pure and whispered chimes, Listens to their silent rhymes, From their lowly belfries rise, Hymns that touch the open skies. Majesty with meekness dwells, In the valley’s lily bells. 3 So would we, in fragrant stoles, Raise to God our simple souls, Knowing well that He desires White-clad hearts to join His choirs. Not the loudest, but the pure Songs, of Heaven’s ear are sure. Surely this the lily tells In its peal of happy bells. Topics: Faith; Holy Spirit Used With Tune: [See the lilies, how they grow]
