v.12ff <br />L. M. <br />The church is the garden of God. <br /> <br />Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand <br />In gardens planted by thine hand; <br />Let me within thy courts be seen, <br />Like a young cedar, fresh and green. <br /> <br />There grow thy saints in faith and love, <br />Blest with thine influence from above; <br />Not Lebanon with all its trees <br />Yields such a comely sight as these. <br /> <br />The plants of grace shall ever live; <br />(Nature decays, but grace must thrive <br />Time, that doth all things else impair, <br />Still makes them flourish strong and fair. <br /> <br />Laden with fruits of age, they show <br />The Lord is holy, just, and true; <br />None that attend his gates shall find <br />A God unfaithful or unkind.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-92-part-2/
