Swing, Snowy Lilies

Lyricist: Ida Reed, 1912
Composer: Edmund Lorenz

Swing

snowy li­lies

to and fro;

Tell ye the sto­ry soft and low;

Jesus is ris­en

emp­ty the grave;

Victor tri­umph­ant

He com­eth to save.

Sing

sno­wy lilies! Oh

tell out your joy!

Tell out your joy! Tell out your joy!

Lift the glad carol

the vic­tor’s palm wave

Jesus is ris­en

al­migh­ty to save!

Swing

snowy li­lies

tell it wide

Once more He lives

the Cru­ci­fied;

Pain of the scourg­ing and cross are past;

His is the vic­t’ry at last

yes

at last.

Swing

sno­wy lilies

pure and white

Bring ye love’s of­f’ring

life and light;

Beauty and frag­rance

your all now bring

Into His pre­sence

the great ris­en King.
