THE LILY
The Lily speaks in accents soft of Life and Truth and Love And of a heaven far above All sense of discord and of pain, Where men are healed and hope swells up again. 'T is the Resurrection hour And from within this pearl-like flower Comes the incense from above Wafted down on the wings of Love, Beckoning man aside from the weary paths of sin. Saying, gently saying, Enter thou in. For the door stands open wide. Bidding us come inside This vestibule to heaven's eternal home, And there to stay, never more from the Father's House to roam. The Father's House is boundless Love, Around, about, above. Infinite—Freedom giving To those who in their lives are living Reflections of the Parent Mind And through His glory ever shine.
