' Amid 7iiy g'arden's broider'd paths I trod. 



And there ray mind soon caught lier favoured clue ; 

 I .<eem'd to stand amid the church of God, 



And flowers were preachers, and (still str;ing-er) drew 

 Prom their own life and course 

 The love they would enforce ; 

 And sound their doctrine was, and every precept true. 



Then cried the s'ai'den's host with one consent : 



Come, man, and see how. day by d;iy, we shoot, 

 For every hour of rain, and sunshine lent, 

 Deepen oiir g-lowiug- hues, and drive our root ; 

 And, as our heads we lift. 

 Record each added gift, 

 And bear to God's hig-h will, and man's support, our f- 11."
