A Selection of Psalms and Hymns‎#CXXXV

CXXXVI

Text:	Desiring the divine presence
Author:	Dr. Watts

1 We are a garden wall'd around,
Chosen and made peculiar ground,
A little spot enclos'd by grace
Out of the world's wide wilderness.

2 Like trees of myrrh and spice we stand,
Planted by God the Father's hand;
And all his springs in Zion flow
To make the young plantation grow.

3 Awake, O, heavenly wind, and come,
Blow on this garden of perfume;
Spirit divine, descend and breathe,
A gracious gale on plants beneath.

4 Make our best spices flow abroad
To entertain our Savior GOD
And faith, and love, and joy appear,
And every grace be active here.
