Floral Hymn

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1883
Composer: Phoebe Knapp

We praise our Cre­at­or for mo­ments so bright

We hail their re­turn­ing

we ha­llow their light;

And now with the stand­ard of Je­sus un­furled

Thro’ grace we are rea­dy to con­quer the world.

The whole for Je­sus our watch­word shall be

An army with ban­ners His sol­diers are we;

Now march­ing with mu­sic

With sun­shine and flow­ers

On! on! to the con­quest that soon will be ours.

How free­ly the sum­mer her tri­bute has brought

She gave us the ros­es and li­lies we sought;

Thus free­ly to Je­sus our tal­ents we give

For Him we will la­bor as long as we live.

We praise our cre­at­or for blos­soms that grow

By fount­ains of know­ledge

Whose streams ev­er flow;

Love’s bloss­oms that fade not

And these we would bring

To Je­sus

our Sav­ior

Re­dee­mer

and king.

Dear Sav­ior

go with us wher­ev­er we go

Thy truth in its gran­deur O help us to show;

And when we have con­quered

Thro’ faith and Thy love

Receive us

we pray Thee

to man­sions ab­ove.
