O hear what the lilies would tell you, The pretty white lilies would tell you; In wonderful love, He came from above, The bright Easter lilies would tell. 2 Fair lilies, fair lilies we bring you, The pretty white lilies we bring you; So dear and so true, We bring them to you, The bright Easter lilies now blooming. O hear what the lilies would tell you, The pretty white lilies would tell you; He suffered and died, For us crucified, The bright Easter lilies would tell. 3 Fair lilies, fair lilies we bring you, The pretty white lilies we bring you; So joyful today, In lovely array, The bright Easter lilies now blooming. O hear what the lilies would tell you, The pretty white lilies would tell you; He rose from the grave, And liveth to save, The bright Easter lilies would tell. 4 Fair lilies, fair lilies we bring you, The pretty white lilies we bring you; The first of the year, So full of good cheer, The bright Easter lilies now blooming. O hear what the lilies would tell you, The pretty white lilies would tell you; "We rise from the tomb In heavenly bloom," The bright Easter lilies would tell.
