Blest to behold Edenic paradise Marked with grace, perfection never denies My heart, awe-stricken, keeps on marveling Wondrous nature wrought by Creator* Wise. Mountains tower presenting grandeur height As summits kiss clouds for celestial flight Firmament lights witness the covenant To exalt Designer's glorious might. Flower terraces boast of vibrant blooms Wafting redolence toward heaven zooms Roses of Sharon greet waving Dahlias Lilies of the Valley smite gloom that looms. Ushered to Mother Earth’s orchard with bliss My soul basks under fruit tree-canopies While feasting on sweet orchidarium’s scent Enthralled by herbal garden I can’t miss. Cascading waterfalls of crystal gleam Offer refreshing glow midst hope-filled beam Reviving faith for serene service zest To ripple along flowing freedom-stream.
*Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
