35. The Farmer As the farmer in the field sends the waters to his yield, As the archer with his bow takes his aim both smooth and slow, And the sculptor carves his stone patiently by touch alone, So the wise do shape their lives, so the wise do shape their lives. 2. As the mother rears her child with love’s wisdom, mercy mild, As the earth us all enfolds to her bounteous bosom old, As the music of the spheres daily falls on our young ears, So the wise do shape their lives, so the wise do shape their lives.
Traditional Title: Jesus, Lover of My Soul. |
