Accompaniment:


Lyrics

Thou lowly, meek and lovely flower
But yesterday at evening’s hour
As trudging upward with my load
I saw thee blooming gently by the road
I stayed my steps to wonder there
That beauty so supremely rare
Should waste its loveliness and wondrous love
Its wondrous love on me
That beauty so supremely fair, so fair
E’en as the Flower, E’en as the Flower of Calvary
