1. They brought their flow’rs to the altar,
Blossoms of white and red;
Lilies and pansies and roses
The sweetest of perfumes shed;
But non of the rich and mighty,
Who lavished their gifts that day
Took heed of a child among them,
Who timidly pressed her way.
2. She crept up close to the altar,
And there, ‘neath a lily’s crown,
With tender and reverent fingers
She laid her offering down;
And said to a curious question,
As she opened her tiny hand,
“It is only a little daisy—
But God will understand.”
3. Sweet childish faith! Oh, teach us
Our little best to give,
Though the works of others are greater
Than the humble life we live;
And to offer our grateful service,
Forever with loving hand,
And rest in the blest assurance
That God will understand.
