Sing Praise to God, the Gardener

Tall stands the Tree beside the stream Where living waters flow; Wide-flung the branches, cool the shade, Where all the weary go. Fresh green the leaves for healing given, Bright gold the new-pressed oil That runs as balm upon the banks Toward which the weary toil. Deep-scarred the bark, but sweet the wine That pours down, last and best, And rich the table spread below, Where all the weary rest. Sing praise to God, the gardener Whose labors never cease To make beneath the Tree of Life For all the weary, peace.
