A Garden Fair'
by Helen Howarth Lemmel My heart may be a fragrant garden fair, Kind words and thoughts and deeds a-blossoming there; Or it may be a place of poison weeds, All filled with ugly thoughts and words and deeds. Lord Jesus, make my heart a garden fair, Come Thou Thyself and be the Gard’ner there. A Bible for Young Sing Lee You sent the money across the sea That bought a Bible for young Sing Lee; And young Sing Lee, when he’d read therein Proceeded to turn his back on sin. Then he rested neither night nor day ’Til his brother walked the narrow way. And his brother worked ’til he had won Away from the gods his wife and son. The woman told of her new-found joy, And Christ was preached by the happy boy. Some of the folks who heard them speak Decided the one tine God to seek. It wasn’t long until half the town Had left its idols of wood and stone, And the work’s not ended yet, my friend, You started something that ne’er shall end When you sent the money across the sea That bought a Bible for young Sing Lee.
