' There's not a pair of legs so thin, there's not a head so thick, 

 There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a heart so sick, 

 But it can find some needful job that's crying to be done 

 For the glory of the garden glorifieth every one. 



1 Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him, sees 

 That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees, 

 So, when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray 

 For the Glory of the Garden that it may not pass away I 

 And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away ! "
