IN THE GARDEN OF GOD
Companions of the Way (Morning)A S 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.
