Fair Lilies We Bring You

lyricist: Palmer Hartsough, 1898
Composer: James Fillmore

Fair li­lies

fair li­lies we bring you

The pret­ty white li­lies we bring you;

So pure and so sweet

in beau­ty com­plete

The bright East­er li­lies now bloom­ing.

O hear what the li­lies would tell you

The pret­ty white li­lies would tell you;

In won­der­ful love

He came from above

The bright East­er li­lies would tell.

Fair li­lies

fair li­lies we bring you

The pret­ty white li­lies we bring you;

So dear and so true

we bring them to you

The bright East­er li­lies now bloom­ing.

O hear what the li­lies would tell you

The pret­ty white li­lies would tell you;

He suf­fered and died

for us cru­ci­fied

The bright East­er li­lies would tell.

Fair li­lies

fair li­lies we bring you

The pret­ty white li­lies we bring you;

So joy­ful today

in love­ly ar­ray

The bright East­er li­lies now bloom­ing.

O hear what the li­lies would tell you

The pret­ty white li­lies would tell you;

He rose from the grave

and liv­eth to save

The bright East­er li­lies would tell.

Fair li­lies

fair li­lies we bring you

The pret­ty white li­lies we bring you;

The first of the year

so full of good cheer

The bright East­er li­lies now bloom­ing.

O hear what the li­lies would tell you

The pret­ty white li­lies would tell you;

We rise from the tomb in heav­en­ly bloom

The bright East­er li­lies would tell.
