SWEET LILIES for a Greeting, 
 
 Set with rows of pearly bells, 
 Gently wafting thee sweet music ; 
 Blooming among shady dells. 
 
 Fragrant flowers of LI is planting : 
 Nurtured by His tender care ; 
 Sent as cheering wayside teachers, 
 Sent in lore — these blossoms fair. 
 
 Cherish, then, the snowy floiurets, 
 Cherish them, and may you find 
 Many blessings in their purity — 
 Faith, hope and cheer combiu'd.
