Among the birds and flowers of Providence
The stately evergreen
You will feel His power in
the whip of the wind, His loving care in the warm bright sun
Here life flies by.
look around me and I see
The beautiful scenery
T'was made for me!
Lord!I thank Thee.
All noble hearts, great minds are here
To help me in my quest of you
For them I say
"Lord!I thank you"
Your sturdy walls that shelter me
It's just success that will carry me
Beyond your bounds,
Lord, I trust Thee.
My future lying beyond the green
Does trouble me, but yet l feel
Your hand in mine
Will still lead me.
And then the life beyond the grey,
The rocks before it, the thorns,
the clay! I'l follow yet,
Your beckoning light.
