Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLVI (1799) First Line: Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd Refrain First Line: Eights and Sevens Lyrics: 1 Once, O Lord, thy garden flourish'd, Ev'ry part look'd gay and green; Then thy word our spirits nourish'd, Happy seasons we have seen! 2 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see; Lord, thy help is greatly needed, Help can only come from thee. 3 Where are those we counted leaders, Fill'd with zeal, and love and truth? Old professors, tall as cedars, Bright examples to our youth! 4 Some, in whom we once delighted, We shall meet no more below, Some, alas! we fear are blighted, Scarce a single leaf they show. 5 Younger plants--the sight how pleasant, Cover'd thick with blossoms stood; But they cause us grief at present, Frosts have nipp'd them in their bud! 6 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again; Oh, permit them not to wither, Let not all our hopes be vain!
