Lord Jesus hath a garden full of flowers gay,
Where you and I can gather nosegays all the day:
Refrain:
There angels sing in jubilant ring,
With dulcimers and lutes,
And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes,
And gentle, soothing flutes.
And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes,
And gentle flutes.
There bloometh white the lily, flower of Purity;
The fragrant vioLet hides there, sweet Humility:
(Refrain)
And one thing fairest is in all that lovely maze,
The gard'ner, Jesus Christ, whom all the flowers praise:
(Refain)
O Jesus all my good and all my bliss! Ah me!
Thy garden make my heart, which ready is for thee!

Sing ye to the Lord
For He hath triumphed gloriously
Pharaoh’s chariots and his host
hath He cast into the sea
Mighty Victim from the sky
Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight
Thou hast brought us life and light
Now no more can death appall
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise
And in Thee Thy Saints shall rise
Mighty Victim from the sky
Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight
Thou hast brought us life and light;
Thou hast openеd Paradise
And in Thee Thy Saints shall rise
Alleluia!
