Lilies

By Mrs. Pauline Alderman

By Mrs. Pauline Alderman

We are told of the lilies of heaven, In the beautiful garden of God. A glimpse of their wonders is given, Where the feet of no mortals have trod.

Dear lilies, with smiles of the Master Asleep in your delicate forms! In the great and the blissful hereafter, We shall find them where beauty adorns.

Will they be fairer or sweeter? I gaze on their blossoms of snow, And drink their perfume in a rapture That only their Maker can know;

And I turn from the exquisite beauty, To the Maker of tree and of flower, And think of the home where I'll view them Sometime at the shrine of His power.

Sweet lilies! They tell us of heaven, Of Jesus, perfection, and love. They speak of a hope to us given, Of sharing that glory above.
