GARDENS, WREATHS, &c. 
In a garden,—on that night 
When our Saviour was betray’d, 
With what world-redeeming might, 
In his agony, he pray’d ! 
Till he drank the vengeance up. 
And with mercy fill’d the cup. 
In a garden,—On the cross. 
When the spear his heart had riven, 
And for earth’s primeval loss 
Heaven’s own ransom had been given, 
Jesus rested from his woes, 
Jesus from the dead arose. 
Here, not Eden’s bowers are found, 
Nor the lone Gethsemane, 
Nor the calm sepulchral ground 
At the foot of Calvary : 
But this scene may well recall 
Sweet remembrances of all. 
Emblem of the church below! 
Where the Spirit and the Word 
Fall like dew, like breezes blow ; 
And the Lord God’s voice is heard. 
Walking in the cool of day, 
When the world is far away : 
Emblem of the church above, 
Where amidst their native clime.
