GOD'S GARDEN by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: THE YEARS ARE FLOWERS AND BLOOM WITHIN
Last Line: AND MAKE THEM ROSE-LIKE IN HIS NAME.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GARDENS & GARDENING; GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

The years are flowers and bloom within
Eternity's wide garden;
The rose for joy, the thorn for sin,
The gardener, God, to pardon
All wilding growths, to prune, reclaim,
And make them rose-like in His name.
