I GO TO THE GARDEN

I GO TO THE GARDEN

Who fathoms the Eternal Thought?Who talks of scheme and plan?The Lord is God! He needeth notThe poor device of man.I walk with bare, hushed feet the groundYe tread with boldness shod;I dare not fix with mete and boundThe Love and Power of God.Ye praise His Justice; even suchHis pitying love I deem:Ye seek a King; I fain would touchThe robe that hath no seam.Ye see the curse which overbroodsA world of pain and loss;I hear our Lord’s BeatitudesHis prayer upon the Cross.—John G. Whittier.

Who fathoms the Eternal Thought?

Who talks of scheme and plan?

The Lord is God! He needeth not

The poor device of man.

I walk with bare, hushed feet the groundYe tread with boldness shod;I dare not fix with mete and boundThe Love and Power of God.

I walk with bare, hushed feet the ground

Ye tread with boldness shod;

I dare not fix with mete and bound

The Love and Power of God.

Ye praise His Justice; even suchHis pitying love I deem:Ye seek a King; I fain would touchThe robe that hath no seam.

Ye praise His Justice; even such

His pitying love I deem:

Ye seek a King; I fain would touch

The robe that hath no seam.

Ye see the curse which overbroodsA world of pain and loss;I hear our Lord’s BeatitudesHis prayer upon the Cross.—John G. Whittier.

Ye see the curse which overbroods

A world of pain and loss;

I hear our Lord’s Beatitudes

His prayer upon the Cross.

—John G. Whittier.
