Christ My Song - 881

As the lily of the valley - The garden of God
(Johannes Tauler/Frances Bevan/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The garden of God.

Song of Solomon 2,2.

1. As the lily of the valley,
  white and pure and sweet,
as the lovely violet trodden
  under wandering feet; (PDF - Midi)

2. as the rose amidst the briars
  fresh and fair is found,
heedless of the tangled thicket,
  and the thorns around –

3. as the sun-flower ever turning
  to the mighty sun,
with the faithfulness of fealty
  following only one –

4. so make me, Lord, to thee.

J. Tauler.

Frances Bevan, Hymns of Ter Steegen, Suso and others 1, 1899, 54, after Johannes Tauler.
