THE LOWLY PANSY

THE VELVETY SOFTNESS OF THE LOWLY PANSY

IS SO VERY EASILY SEEN. THEY GROW SO LOW

TO THE GROUND, YET ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS A QUEEN

ADORNED IN HER FINEST ROBES, AND HER QUEENLY

GLOW. THEY CAN COMPETE WITH HER AND WIN

THE CROWN OF GOLD.

THE PANSY IS SO WONDERFULLY MADE, JUST

THINK WHAT OUR LORD HAS DONE.

HE HAS MADE A FLOWER OF MYRIADS OF HUES,

REDS, GREENS, YELLOWS AND BLUES.

SUCH BEAUTY THAT ONE CAN HARDLY CONCEIVE,

FOR IT TAKES ONE'S BREATH AWAY.

A CROSS OF PANSIES I DO SEE,

I SEE PANSIES HANGING ON THE TREE

WHERE MY SAVIOR HUNG, FOR YOU AND ME,

TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

THEIR BEAUTY DOES NOT OVER-RIDE

THE BEAUTY OF THE SAVIOR'S BRIDE,

WHICH IS THE CHURCH, INCLUSIVELY,

AND IS MADE UP OF YOU AND ME.

PANSIES, LOVELY PANSIES, MADE BY

MY SAVIOR FAIR. HE HAS MADE THEM SO

BEAUTIFUL, MOST BEAUTIFUL BEYOND COMPARE.

YET HIS MAGNIFICENCE TRANSCENDS ALL.

HE IS SO GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL.
