Thy Word

Thy word is like a garden, Lord,

With flowers bright and fair;

And everyone who seeks may pluck                             
A lovely cluster there.

                   🎕                 

Thy word is like a deep, deep mine;
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in the mighty depths
For every searcher there.

                   ⟡                 

Thy word is like a starry host;
A thousand rays of light
Are seen to guide the traveler
And make His pathway bright.
                  ★
Thy word is like an armory,
Where soldiers may repair,
And find for life's long battle-day
All needful weapons there.
                   ⚔
Oh, may I love Thy precious word;
May I explore the mine;
May I it's fragrant flowers glean;
May light upon me shine.
                🕮
Oh, may I find my armor there;
Thy word my trusty sword;
I'll learn to fight with every foe
The battle of the Lord.
