Lyrics

Bright those jewels of the skies
which in sable darkness glow.
Brighter in compassion's eyes
are the silent tears which flow.

Sweet the fragrance from the fields
where abundant spices grow.
Sweeter far is that which yields
succor to the sick and low.

Grateful are those gentle dews
on the greening grass which fall.
Far more grateful what renews
comforts to the poor who call

Alternate words

Loveliest of trees
