GARDEN THOUGHTS. 
MONTGOMERY. 
Written on occasion of a Ladies’ Bazaar, in aid of the Church Mis¬ 
sionary Society, being held in the garden-grounds of a benevolent 
family resident on the banks of the Yorkshire Ouse. 
In a garden — Man was placed, 
Meet abode for innocence; 
With his Maker’s image graced: 
Sin crept in, and drove him thence, 
Through the world, a wretch undone, 
Seeking rest and finding none. 
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.
