The Garland

Great Lord and my Creator,

I love what You have done:

You reach Your Heavenly, Holy Hand

To rest upon Your Son.

Look down on me, dear Father,

And all within I bear;

I carry them to Jesus-

A crown of blossoms rare

The world is found within me

For Jesus I believe;

My life is full of precious gifts

To give and to receive.

You bless the things I offer You,

And they are newly born;

Accept the garland of my life-

The blossoms and the thorns.

And with my joys, receive, dear Lord

All those who calmed my fears;

And with my pains, forgive them, Lord

Who caused my bitter tears

Myself I give, and what I bear

To You Who are so Good;

Tis why I have been saved by Christ

And hallowed by His Blood.
