Consider the lilies of the field, Consider the lilies of the field

Tune: [Consider the lilies of the field]
Published in 10 hymnals

Representative Text

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
They toil not, they toil not, they toil not, neither do they spin;
They toil not, they toil not, they toil not, neither do they spin;
And yet I say unto you,
And yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed, was not arrayed like one of these, like one of these.
