LOVING MESSAGES FOR THE LITTLE ONES, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: Every little flower that grows Last Line: What he waiteth to bestow! Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Love | ||||||||
EVERY little flower that grows, Every little grassy blade, Every little dewdrop, shows Jesus cares for all He made: Jesus loves, and Jesus knows! So you need not be afraid! FAIR the blossoms opening early! For the dew Fell upon them, cool and pearly, Brightening every hue. Like a little thirsty flower, Lift your face, Seek the gentle, holy shower Of the Spirit's grace. GRACE and glory! They are yours Through the Saviour's dying love; For His own sweet word endures Longer than the stars above. It shall never pass away, So trust His living love to-day. HAVE you not a song for Jesus? All the little buds and flowers, All the merry birds and breezes, All the sunbeams and the showers, Praise Him in their own sweet way! What have you to sing to-day? Bring your happiest songs, and sing For your Saviour and your King. KNOWING Christ was crucified, Knowing that He loves you now Just as much as when He died With the thorns upon His brow, Stay and think! oh, should not you, Love this blessèd Saviour too? OPENING flowers I send to you With a message sweet and true. They may fade, but Jesus lives, Peace and grace and joy He gives. Come to Him and you will know What He waiteth to bestow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
