THE PASSION FLOWER by CHARLES GRANGER BLANDEN

First Line: THOU LOWLY, MEEK AND LOVELY FLOWER
Last Line: EVEN AS THE FLOWER OF CALVARY!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST - SUFFERING & SACRIFICE;

Thou lowly, meek and lovely flower,
But yesterday, at evening's hour,
As trudged I upward with my load,
I saw thee blooming by the road,
And stayed my steps to wonder there
That beauty so supremely fair
Should waste its loveliness on me—
Even as the Flower of Calvary!
