The church the garden of ChristA
-
SSB
-
We are a garden walled aroundC
Chosen and made peculiar groundC
A little spot enclosed by graceB
Out of the world's wide wildernessB
-
Like trees of myrrh and spice we standD
Planted by God the Father's handD
And all his springs in Zion flowE
To make the young plantation growE
-
Awake O heav'nly wind and comeF
Blow on this garden of perfumeG
Spirit divine descend and breatheH
A gracious gale on plants beneathI
-
Make our best spices flow abroadJ
To entertain our Savior GodK
And faith and love and joy appearL
And every grace be active hereM
-
Let my Beloved come and tasteN
His pleasant fruits at his own feastO
I come my spouse I come he criesB
With love and pleasure in his eyesB
-
Our Lord into his garden comesB
Well pleased to smell our poor perfumesB
And calls us to a feast divineP
Sweeter than honey milk or wineP
-
Eat of the tree of life my friendsB
The blessings that my Father sendsB
Your taste shall all my dainties proveQ
And drink abundance of my loveR
-
Jesus we will frequent thy boardS
And sing the bounties of our LordS
But the rich food on which we liveT
Demands more praise than tongues can giveU

Isaac Watts
