IN THE GARDEN OF GOD

Cant. ii. 2.

               As the lily of the valley,
                    White and pure and sweet,
                                    As the lowly violet trodden
                    Under wandering feet;
                                    As the rose amidst the briars
                    Fresh and fair is found,
                                    Heedless of the tangled thicket,
                    And the thorns around--
                                    As the sun-flower ever turning
                    To the mighty sun,
                                    With the faithfulness of fealty
                    Following only one--
                                              So make me, Lord, to Thee.
