Consider the lilies

And how they do grow

No toiling or spinning

But wrapped all aglow.

 

They worry for nothing

For Father does know

Consider the lilies

And how they do grow.

 

Consider the ravens

And how they are fed

Faithfully given

Heavens sweet bread.

 

They heap up no plenty

Nor fill a barns bed

Consider the ravens

And how they are fed.

 

Consider Elijah

How His needs were met

The Word of the Lord

Declared his next step.

 

Sent to a widow

Prepared in advance

Consider Elijah

How His needs were met.

 

Consider the rich man

With plenty to show

Heaps of abundance

With comfort you know.

 

But in the due hour

Lost did his soul

Consider the rich man

With plenty to show.
