Hymn Context Compare
Who of their own per­fec­tion boast,
With vi­tal ar­dor glows,
He’s the li­ly of the val­ley,
Yes, He left God’s ha­bi­ta­tion.
Oh, Earth! through­out thy bor­ders,
He’s ev­ery­thing to me,
The morn­ing star shone bright­ly there
When Thou dost deign to use;
Thro’ the new Je­ru­sa­lem,
The morn­ing star shone bright­ly there
He love still re­pays;
With vi­tal ar­dor glows,
Must with His fear be­gin;
Drink of joy from death­less springs.
It makes our sor­rows blest;
Then was my spir­it set free.
Day filled with plea­sure and cheer;
They tell me life has tri­als,
It shone like a gem on the blue eth­er skies;
E’en for a soul like me.

fair­est

The fair­est words are leaves at most.
That beau­ty can dis­close;
I shall see Him in His glo­ry,
Hallelujah!
And ev­ery­where, oh, Na­ture!
The Lily of the Val­ley, in Him alone I see
In Beth­le­hem this Prince of Peace
Our dear­est—all are thine;
Flows a pure and crys­tal stream,
In Beth­le­hem this Prince of Peace
And tru­est is He;
Which beau­ty can dis­close;
In hat­ing ev­ery sin.
Theirs is wis­dom’s ho­li­est trea­sure.
And our eter­nal rest.
He is the Li­ly, the Rose.
Crowning the gold­en year.
But I trust my all to Je­sus,
That glist­ened and spark­led on Beth­le­hem’s plain.
His love is sweet and true;
