Bring the Easter Lilies

Bring the East­er lil­ies fair

To the house of praise and pray­er;

Let them on the al­tar bloom

Breathing there a sweet per­fume.

Christ hath ris­en from the tomb

Clothed in Heav’n’s im­mor­tal bloom;

Bring the East­er lil­ies fair

To the house of praise and pray­er.

Bring the East­er li­lies white

Bending soft­ly in the light;

Meet for Him whose ten­der care

Watcheth o’er them ev­ery­where.

Bring the East­er lil­ies now

While our hearts to Him we bow;

While our songs of glad­ness rise

Borne by an­gels to the skies.
