The Easter Sermon of The Flowers

Easter Sermon of The Flowers

by Peter McArthur.

The Easter sermon of the flowers

Is best of all to know.

They hear the preaching of the showers

That speak the one word "Grow!"

They waited for that glad command

Through wintry storm and strife,

And now throughout the rousing 

land

They stir and wake to life.

I, too, have watched and waited

long,

for I was fain to learn

The word that wakes the birds to song

When life and joy return.

I, too, must grow and feel my heart

O'erflow with prayer and praise:

With birds and flowers must take my

part

And hymn the Easter days.
