402. Thy Word Is Like a Garden

1 Thy Word is like a garden, Lord,
With flowers bright and fair;
And ev'ry one who seeks may pluck
And weave a garland rare.

2 Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine;
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For ev'ry searcher there.

3 O may I love Thy precious Word,
May I explore the mine,
May I the fragrant flowers glean,
Thy graces all divine.
