Companions of the Way (Evening)Behold I come quickly, hold fast that which thou hast that no man take thy crown.
CHRIST hath a garden walled around, A Paradise of fruitful ground, Chosen by love and fenced by grace From out the world's wide wilderness.
Like trees of spice His servants stand, There planted by His mighty hand; By Eden's gracious streams that flow To feed their beauty where they grow.
Awake, O wind of heav'n, and bear Their sweetest perfume through the air; Stir up, O south, the boughs that bloom, Till the beloved Master come:
That He may come, and linger yet Among the trees that He hath set; That He may ever more be seen To walk amid the springing green.
The Yattendon Hymn- Book
