First Line: There is a tree so dear to heaven
Last Line: And grows but in the soil of pain.
Subject(s): Courage; God; Valor; Bravery
THERE is a tree so dear to Heaven
That God would send new sun, new rain
Ere He would let one sapling wither,
One single seed be set in vain:
It is the tree of Humble Courage,
And grows but in the soil of Pain.
