Show The Lilies Prayer Methinks sweet one as youre bowing r there Your heat l you bend in silent prayer For you could never look so grand I In simple art of natures hand I feel it so that you must be Opening thy heart in greatful glee Thanking God for the sweet cool air With natures tunes humming there Tell me now I ask I may Is not your head bent down to pray Thanking God for thy velvet leaf And beauty of thy floral reef Thanking Him for the freshening rain That wets thy thirst and cools thy pain Thanking Him for the birds and bees 1 That pack thy pollen throjgh the trees You send up thanks for the dew drop I there I I The sparkling diamonds of thy lair I y t1 send up thanks for the crickets r yeap I For smallest bugs that round you creep Yourethanking Him for all serene I Eor mother earth with carpets green In fact for nil that he does bless j You bend thy head with greatfulness I Ah yours so sweet with head so low Im sure that heaven sees you soy so-y hes you bending praying there Hearsand grants your simple prayer If all the world could see you thus With bowed down head and cheeks i ablush All so pure while < standing there So much a child in asking prayer It surely would sink low in pain With thoughts of earthly comrades slain 1 With wicked air theyve caused to blow I And growing debts to God they owe And great would be this present day Great the nations moving way If all could see the blessings true If all could thank as now you do |
