Wonderstruck With Edenic Tree Flowers
I know the land where spiritual 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 love-grace 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 mercy-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 faith-propped 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!
*Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
