The Father's Planting

Ev'ry plant that my Father plantethMay grow in my garden fair;Ev'ry flower that my Father lovethHath His tender and watchful care.

Poem

Nay , be not sad: thou'rt not alone!E'er came the clouds, how brightly shoneThe sun o'er hill and valley fair:Behind those clouds the sun shines there!Ah, well we know, though mortal senseDoth hide God's holy immanence,Love still is here and guards us well.

The Shadow of the Almighty

Within God's shadow there is peace eternal,Though, dreamlike, noises of the world go on:For where He is, there must be joy supernal,Which never passes to oblivion.
