Tell of Love

Representative Text

1 Breezes blow, Softly blow,
Perfume of fields and bow'rs;
Breezes blow, Softly blow,
Incense of summer flow'rs.
Tell, as you gently blow,
Tell that all men may know,
Tell ev'rywhere you go,
God is love.

Chorus:
God is love, God is love,
Blessings us as we meet;
Gladly bring
Offering,
Place at the Master's feet.
God is love, God is love,
Bow in his presence sweet;
Raise the song,
Notes prolong,
Jesus to greet.

2 Sweetly grow, Sweetly grow,
Flow'rs of the wood and glade,
Bright and fair, Bright and fair,
Let not your beauty fade.
Out in the woodland deep
Let not your perfume sleep,
Forth on the breezes leap,
Tell of God. [Chorus]

3 Praises sing, Praises sing,
Jesus, our Lord, is King;
Gratefully, Gratefully,
Gifts unto him we bring.
Roses bloom ev'rywhere;
Fragrant the balmy air;
Flow'rs in the tribute share,
Praising God. [Chorus]

4 Joyously, Joyously,
Join in the songs today,
Cheerful be, Cheerful be,
Bright'ning our earthly way.
Jesus looks down in love,
Down from his throne above,
Guiding us as we move
Here below. [Chorus]
