I Know a Flower So Fair and Fine

1. I know a flower so fair and fine, So fragrant
2. This flower so fair and fine is love; God's hand with
and so cheering; With lifeblood clear as purest wine,
art it molded. Unseen on earth, but not above,
And leaflet fine, Like rose-leaves all appearing.
Is growth of love, Till fair it is unfolded.

3. Upon this earth but wild it grows;
Not so in new earth's Eden,
Where stream of life serenely flows;
It buds and blows,
Delightful fragrance breathing.
