Hymntime
BEAUTIFUL WATERS OF EDEN
Murmuring softly, caroling gently,
Music enchanting cometh to me;
Over the waters, beautiful waters,
Where in the homeland soon I shall be.
How like a vision tenderly stealing,
Over my spirit, weary, oppressed;
Drawing me upward, urging me forward,
Telling of sunshine, rapture and rest.
Refrain
Murmuring softly, caroling gently,
Music enchanting cometh to me;
Over the waters, beautiful waters,
Where in the homeland soon I shall be.
Silently musing, blissfully gazing
Into the future teeming with light,
Sweetly the echoes floating around me,
Whisper of Eden, lovely and bright.
Eden, where summer, fadeless, eternal,
Scatters its roses, blooming for aye;
There is no parting, there is no weeping,
Sorrow and sighing vanish away.
Eden -defined means : Delight , pleasure

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

_____________________________________
Garden of delight, where our parents were born
On holy grounds made with love --absent of scorn
Plants, trees, fruit, light and air
All needs meet
Every care
A garden of treasure
Filled with pleasure
Walking with God
Pure bliss without measure…
Walking with God
Hearing His voice
Until another voice
Made its existence known.
The voice of God can still be heard
In nature, in our hearts and in
His eternal word.
Today, we pray to our Lord God
Who can hear our voice and plea
To love and lead us
Toward His perpetual
Garden --cared for by Christ
For all Eternity.
