THE flowers that bloom through the
summer,
In the autumn will be dead:
And all winter long meath the cover
of snow
Their beauty will be hid.
But when the bright springrme comes,
To waken them from their sleep.
Their hidden beauty again will appear
Their soft petals again will be
sweet
SO it is with the people.
For when God sees best
After their summer Of ceaseless bloom.
He will give them winters rest.
He will cause the autumn winds
To make them droop and die;
And we will long for those beautiful
flowers,
As the winter days go by.
But the springtime, too. will come to
them.
And God will waken them all:
o, then, how pure and sweet and holy.
They will bloom TO answer His CALI
God will be the Gardener,
In that Great Garden Of Flowers.

VIII be filled with bright spring
