The wonders...

Hershey Gardens, PA

Lyman, ME

Manheim, PA

Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us no one can recount to you;

Were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

Psalm 40:5

Forevermore endure...

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

The saints’ and angels’ song.

Drain the ocean dry...

Cape Neddick, ME

Cape Elizabeth, ME


Old Orchard Beach, ME

Oceanside, CA

Could we with ink the ocean fill,

And were the skies of parchment made,

Were every stalk on earth a quill,

And every man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above,

Would drain the ocean dry.

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretched from sky to sky.

Rocks, hills and mountains

Rt. 62, Morongo Valley, CA

When years of time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men, who here refuse to pray,

On rocks and hills and mountains call,

God’s love so sure, shall still endure,

All measureless and strong;

Redeeming grace to Adam’s race

—The saints’ and angels’ song.

The Love of God

Hellebore

Magnolia Tree

Hershey Gardens, PA

Hershey Gardens, PA

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell;

It goes beyond the highest star,

And reaches to the lowest hell;

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,

God gave His Son to win;

His erring child He reconciled,

And pardoned from his sin.

Night is falling

Lake Cuyamaca, CA

Onawa, Iowa

I’d stay in the garden with Him

Though the night around me be falling,

But He bids me go; through the voice of woe

His voice to me is calling.

Birds hush their singing...

Moody Gardens, Galveston, TX

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,

Galveston, TX

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,

Moody Gardens, Galveston, TX

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

He walks with me...

Winterthur Garden, DE

And He walks with me,

and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

Witerthur Garden, DE

And the joy we share as we tarry there,

Winterthur Garden, DE

None other has ever known.

Dew on the roses...

Hershey Gardens, PA

Old Town, San Diego, CA

I come to the garden alone,

While the dew is still on the roses,

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,

The Son of God discloses.

Desert

Joshua Tree, CA

This is my Father’s world.

I walk a desert lone.

Joshua Tree, CA

In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze,

God makes His glory known.

I-8 near Pine Valley, CA

This is my Father’s world,
a wanderer I may roam.
Whate’er my lot, it matters not.
My heart is still at home.
