about

Music Trad./Arr. Carter. Words by John Campbell in 'Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the Use of Christians' 1803

lyrics

The Lord into his garden comes,

The spices yield a rich perfume,

The lilies grow and thrive,

The lilies grow and thrive.

Refreshing showers of grace divine,

From Jesus flow to every vine,

And make the dead revive,

And make the dead revive.

O that this dry and barren ground

In springs of water may abound,

A fruitful soil become,

A fruitful soil become.

The desert blossoms as the rose

As Jesus conquers all his foes,

Which makes his people one,

Which makes his people one.

Come brethren ye who love the Lord

Who taste the sweetness of his word

In Jesus' words go on,

In Jesus' words go on.

Our troubles and our trials here

Will only make us richer there

When we arrive at home,

When we arrive at home.
