Consider the lillies

This sacred anthem, suitable for Lent or general use, offers a comforting message drawn from the Gospel of Luke. William A. Ogden sets the familiar words from chapter twelve, which encourage singers and listeners alike to trust in divine providence. The text contrasts the simple beauty of the lilies and the grass of the field with the worries of human life, reminding us that our Heavenly Father will provide for us. It urges us not to fear, but to have faith, assuring us that it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. This SATB arrangement of Consider the lilies provides a thoughtful setting of these reassuring words, ideal for a choir seeking to share a message of hope and spiritual trust.
