Text:There Is A Gentle Gard'ner
Tune:[There is a gentle Gard'ner]
Composer:Melchior Vulpius

362. There Is A Gentle Gard'ner

1 There is a gentle Gard'ner,
Who owns a garden fair,
Where countless blooming flowers
Enjoy His tender care.

2 He grants them radiant sunshine
And soft, refreshing rain;
Thus nurtured, they must flourish
And sweetest fragrance gain.

3 They fondly love the Gard'ner
And all to Him incline,
While with their clinging tendrils
They seek Him to entwine.

4 And when their day is ended
He takes them to His breast,
And heavenward He bears them
To regions ever blest.

5 There shall those flowers glisten
In beauty evermore,
Nor cold nor frost shall blight them
On that celestial shore.

6 Thou Gard'ner true and gentle,
Care for us ev'ry day,
That we in yonder Garden
May thrive and bloom for aye.
