The Sun May Raise The Grass To Life

in Robert Lowry’s Hymn Collection

LYRIC

Print

1 The sun may raise the grass to life,
The dew the drooping flow’r;
And eyes grow bright, and watch the light
Of Autumn’s opening hour;
But words that breathe of tenderness,
And smiles we know are true,
And warmer than the summer time,
And brighter than the dew.

Refrain:
Forward, O Christian forces,
Carry the Spirit’s sword,
Gather your vast resources,
Conquer the world for God.

2 It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art;
And gold and gems are not the things
To satisfy the heart;
But O! if those who cluster round
The altar and the hearth
Have gentle words and loving smiles,
How beautiful is earth.

      The Sun May Raise The Grass To Life

      1 The sun may raise the grass to life,
      The dew the drooping flow’r;
      And eyes grow bright, and watch the light
      Of Autumn’s opening hour;
      But words that breathe of tenderness,
      And smiles we know are true,
      And warmer than the summer time,
      And brighter than the dew.

      Refrain:
      Forward, O Christian forces,
      Carry the Spirit’s sword,
      Gather your vast resources,
      Conquer the world for God.

      2 It is not much the world can give,
      With all its subtle art;
      And gold and gems are not the things
      To satisfy the heart;
      But O! if those who cluster round
      The altar and the hearth
      Have gentle words and loving smiles,
      How beautiful is earth.
