When the Lilies I Consider

Verse 1

When the lilies I consider, How they grow so pure and fair, Clothed in all their wondrous beauty, I can trust my Father’s care.

Chorus

I was wearied, I was worried with my trouble, And my heart by its burden was oppress’d; Now I’ve learn’d my Saviour’s lesson on the lilies, And I find by its teaching perfect rest.

Verse 2

I will cast my care on Jesus, For He ever cares for me, And in ev’ry fiery trial He my strength and stay shall be.

Verse 3

Even as the lily groweth, In the great Creator’s care, So I safely rest in Jesus, Who will all my burdens bear.
