When I wandered ’mong the lilies,Over hill and down the dale;And some bloomed in brilliant scarlet,Others pure as snowy veil,Spread their fragrance on the breeze.And I asked them why they came;And each blossom smiled to tell meThat to speak of His dear nameThey had raised their fairest banners,Banners that the children seek,With a shout of baby gladnessLighting heart and eye and cheek.

When I wandered ’mong the lilies,
Over hill and down the dale;
And some bloomed in brilliant scarlet,
Others pure as snowy veil,
Spread their fragrance on the breeze.
And I asked them why they came;
And each blossom smiled to tell me
That to speak of His dear name
They had raised their fairest banners,
Banners that the children seek,
With a shout of baby gladness
Lighting heart and eye and cheek.
