"Consider the Lilies of the Field; --Behold the Fowls of the Air. " |
179. 8s. & 7s. M. Heber. "Consider the lilies of the field; -- behold the fowls of the air." 1 Lo! the lilies of the field! How their leaves instruction yield! Hark to nature's lesson given By the blessed birds of heaven! Every bush and tufted tree Warbles trust and piety: Children, banish doubt and sorrow, -- God provideth for the morrow. 2 One there lives, whose guardian eye Guides our earthly destiny; One there lives, who, Lord of all, Keeps his children lest they fall: Pass we, then, in love and praise, Trusting him, through all our days, Free from doubt and faithless sorrow, -- God provideth for the morrow.
