2. In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His being that transfigures you and me. [As...]

While God is

The Lord’s return is near,

There are still so many people lost His Gospel they must hear [Still...]
            A                                    A - C#7 -  F#m

Bm      Esus – E - A
While God is marching on.
