Hymnal: Juvenile Choir #33 (1840) Hymnal Title: Juvenile Choir Lyrics: 1 The lilies of the field,
That quickly fade away.
May well to us a lesson yield,
For we are frail as they.
2 Just like an early rose,
I've seen an infant bloom:
But death, perhaps, before it blows,
Will lay it in the tomb.
3 Then let us think on death,
Though we are young and gay;
For God, who gave our life and breath,
Can take them both away.
3 To God, who made them all,
Let children humbly cry;
And then, whenever death may call,
They'll be prepared to die.
