Hymn 687 – BEHOLD the bee so wise and brave | C&S English Hymnary

1. BEHOLD the bee so wise and brave Atop all flow’ry shrubs Busy ever, honey gathereth From all shrubs deriveth. 2. Behold how sweet, honey gathereth into the comb he hath All grief and pains thus endureth Behold its jelly bright. 3. Thus ought l to be brave and wise In all I thus engage Idle hands doth satan engage in worthless toils and care. 4. I shall endeavour to study At so tender my age And shall attend harder my toils May l not be ashamed AMEN
