O, lovely Easter lilies
Perfumed with fragrance rare;
O, lilies pure and spotless,
O, lilies sweet and fair!

O, splendid Easter lilies,
What is your mission, say?
What message do you bring me
On this glad Easter day?

O, pretty snow-white lilies,
This Easter morn you bring
A message from my Saviour,
A message from my King.

O, perfect Easter lilies,
A lesson unto me
You've taught, this Easter morning,
Of spotless purity!
