Verse 1
We should be like gardens,
Bright and sweet with flowers,
Blessed with heaven's sunshine,
Cheered by gentle showers;
Violets are the kind words,
Roses, deeds of love,
Fragrant pinks and pansies,
Thoughts of God above.
Refrain
Beautiful flowers, beautiful flowers,
Bright with morning dew;
Beautiful flowers, beautiful flowers,
We would be like you.
Verse 2
Not a frown of anger,
Not a shade of care,
Not one look of sadness,
Do the blossoms wear;
They are always trusting,
This is how they grow
Beautiful and fragrant
In a world of woe.
Verse 3
Selfish thoughts and wishes,
Unkind words and deeds,
Are like cruel brambles,
Thistles, thorns, and weeds;
Kind thoughts are the sweetest,
Loving words the best,
Yielding hope and comfort,
Joy, and peace, and rest.
Verse 4
Jesus has a garden,
Filled with children sweet;
We would be among them,
Bowing at His feet,
Drinking in life's waters,
Growing by His grace,
Like the flowers looking
Up into His face.
