Beautiful Lilies

"He is not here; He has risen, as He said He would do.

Come, see the place where He lay."

Matthew 28:6

Easter Lily

Beautiful lilies,

White as the snow,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago;

Telling of Jesus,

Who from the grave

Rose all victorious,

Mighty to save.

Beautiful lilies,

White as the snow,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago:

Beautiful lilies

Beautiful lilies,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago.

Lilies of Easter

Blossoms of spring

Wake from their slumber

Gladness to bring.

O they are ever

Heaven's bright sign

Of life beyond us,

Endless, divine.

Beautiful lilies,

White as the snow,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago:

Beautiful lilies

Beautiful lilies,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago.

E'en as our Father

From winter's night

Waketh the lilies

To summer's light,

So His dear children

His love will keep,

Waking them softly

From death's long sleep.

Beautiful lilies,

White as the snow,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago:

Beautiful lilies

Beautiful lilies,

Speak to us softly

Of long ago.

Why Weepest Thou?
