Author: Heber Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #267 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: Lo, the lilies of the field! Lyrics:
Lo, the lilies of the field!
How their leaves instruction yield!
Hark to nature’s lesson given
By the blessed birds of heaven!
Every bush and tufted tree
Warbles trust and piety:—
Mortals, banish doubt and sorrow,
God provideth for the morrow.
One there lives, whose guardian eye
Guides our earthly destiny;
One there lives, who, Lord of all,
Keeps His children lest they fall:
Pass we, then, in love and praise,
Trusting Him through all our days,
Free from doubt and faithless sorrow,—
God provideth for the morrow.
