The Church, the Garden of Christ

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCIV (1791) First Line: We are a Garden wall'd around Lyrics: 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 Sion flow, To make the young Plantation grow. 3 Awake, O, heav'nly 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 Saviour God; And Faith, and Love, and Joy appear, And ev'ry Grace be active here. [5 Let my Beloved come and taste His pleasant Fruits at his own Feast; I come, my Spouse, I come, he cries, With Love and Pleasure in his Eyes. 6 Our Lord into his Garden comes, Well pleas'd to smell our poor Perfumes, And calls us to a Feast Divine, Sweeter than Honey, Milk, or Wine. 7 Eat of the Tree of Life, my Friends, The Blessings that my Father sends; Your Taste shall all my Dainties prove, And drink abundance of my Love. 8 Jesus, we will frequent thy Board, And sing the Bounties of our Lord; But the rich Food on which we live Demands more Praise than Tongues can give.] Topics: Christian Consolation Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:12-15 Languages: English

The Church a Garden

Hymnal: A Choice Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs #XXXII (1774) First Line: We are a Garden wall'd around Lyrics: 1 We are a Garden wall'd around, Chosen and made peculiar Ground; A little Spot, inclos'd by Grace, Out of the World's wide Wilderness. 2 Like spicy Trees, Believers stand, Planted by an Almighty Hand; And all the Springs in Zion flow To make the young Plantation grow. 3 Awake, O Heavenly Dove, and come, Blow on this Garden of Perfume; Spirit divine, descend and breathe, A gracious Gale on Plants beneath. 4 Make then our Spices flow abroad, A grateful Increase to our God: Let Faith, and Love, and Joy appear, And every Grace be active here.
