VERSE 1
Thy word is like a garden, Lord,
With flowers bright and fair,
And every one that seeks may find
A lovely garland there.
VERSE 2
Thy word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there.
VERSE 3
Thy word is like the starry host!
A thousand rays of light
Are seen to guide the traveller,
And make his pathway bright.
VERSE 4
Thy word is like a glorious choir,
And loud its anthems ring;
Though many tongues and parts unite,
It is one song they sing.
VERSE 5
Thy word is like an armoury,
Where soldiers may repair,
And find for life's long battle day
And needful weapons there.
VERSE 6
Oh! may I love Thy precious Word,
May I explore its mine!
May I its fragrant flowers glean,
May light upon me shine!
VERSE 7
Oh! may I find my armour there,
Thy word my trusty sword;
I'll learn to fight with every foe
The battle of the Lord.
