Flowering Trees of Virtues
I love the land where the “virtues-trees” flower
There in Eden’s garden of blessed beauty
Midst grand creation displaying God’s power
Wondrously marvelous with goodness-bounty!
Wellness’ scent pervades as “peace-filled trees” flower
Along healthful herbs perfuming paradise
Refreshing soul toward celestial tower
In communion with the loving Friend-Who’s Wise.
I hope to behold the “joy-packed trees” flower
While delighted with the melody of the lark
Along symphony-praises of leaves' shower
Extolling the Lord’s glory in nature’s park.
How I rejoice when the “cheerful-trees” flower
Flashing pretty scenes in my Father’s vineyard
Triumph-bliss of harvest, great yields of sower
Grateful hearts due to labor’s fruitful reward*!
*Ruth 2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
