WATER-LILIES
tr., Emma Frances Bevan, 1899
147 Who are like the lilies white, With their crowns all golden bright, Resting on the waters still, Underneath the purple hill? | They are like the saints who stand, Every one with harp in hand, On the crystal sea that lies Far beyond the summer skies. | They are clad in white array, For their sin is washed away; Golden crowns for every one, For they reign beyond the sun, | Over all the Heavens afar, Over sun and moon and star; They who low before Him fall, Reign with Jesus over all. | |
