Two of Thy children one summer day worked in their garden, Lord;
They chopped the weeds of yesterday and you sent down a golden smile.
Two of Thy children one sunny day worked in their garden, Lord,
They hoed the furrow straight for the earthy bed and you whispered a singing smile.
Two of Thy children one windy day worked in their garden, Lord;
They pressed out the lumps from the clayey soil and you closed your shining eyes;
Two of Thy children one cloudy day worked in their garden, Lord,
They dropped in the seeds with a song in their hearts and you sent a soothing tear.
Two of Thy children one rainy day turned from their garden, Lord --
Your Smile and your Sigh and your Tear entered into their hearts.
Two of Thy children, all the days of their life will work in Thy garden, Lord!
