A LILY OF THE FIELD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: IN ALL HIS GLORY, SOLOMON
Last Line: GOD STOOPED FROM HIGHEST HEAVEN TO BLESS.
Subject(s): MARY. MOTHER OF JESUS; WOMEN - BIBLE; VIRGIN MARY;

In all his glory, Solomon
Was never so arrayed;
Yet far more beautiful is one --
A MOTHER and a MAID --
Whose loveliness and lowliness
God stooped from highest heaven to bless.
