The Service of Praise ‎#190

190. The Fairest Flower

1 Quickly and joyfully
Gather we now;
Lowly and tenderly
Worship and bow;
Jesus our Master is,
Be his the praise;
Now may his grace be ours
In all our ways.

Refrain:
Bless our dear Children’s Day!
Let us repeat;
Make our lives pure and bright,
Life flower sweet,
Bless our dear Children’s Day!
Let us repeat;
Make our lives pure and bright,
Life flower sweet.

2 Surely and patiently,
With faith sublime,
Open the lily buds
In God’s good time;
Here may our lesson be,
Quiet to wait;
God brings our gifts to us,
Never too late. [Refrain]

3 Roses so beautiful,
Lilies so white,
Fragrance and harmony
Shed their delight;
Fairer than bloom or song
Is Christ, our King;
His be our warmest tho’t
Whene’er we sing. [Refrain]
