Guard this Garden, guard it well
Precious treasures ever dwell
Braced with flaming blade, behold
Treasures fed with measured gold
Mold this soul so full of light
Bar what’s marred so far from sight
Free to keep this Tree of Life
Keeping peace, thus free from strife
Battle rattles: ancient Fall
Casts a shadow after all
Cope with hope to overcome
All that’s lost to be re-won
Savior came so brave indeed
Slain for gain there reigned a seed
Seed to Tree to free again
Those whose woes repose had been
