Lily of the Valley Am I
Amongst God’s created flowers
indeed verily beauteous…
I am loved for my pure white colors
oozing with pleasantly sweet fragrance.
With the Lord’s Sovereign wisdom
providing me with red seed pods…
I make my whole plants
very attractive after blooming.
Accordingly in the language of flowers
I bear “the return of happiness” signification
Thus, I am well-sought during weddings…
for couples’ inspiration-bliss.
Best that I boast of along gratefulness’ delight…
is the mention of my name in the Song of Solomon 2:1*
featuring the Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ with His love’s purity
and redeeming blood for man’s eternal sanctification-scent.
*Song 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
