The Barren Fig-Tree
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXVI (1790) Hymnal Title: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns First Line: The Church a garden is Lyrics: 1 The Church a garden is,
In which believers stand,
Like ornamental trees,
Planted by God's own hand,
His Spirit waters all their roots,
And every branch abounds with fruit.
2 But other trees there are,
In this inclosure grow,
Which tho' they promise fair,
Have only leaves to shew;
No fruits of grace are on them found,
They stand but cumb'rers of the ground.
3 The under-gard'ner grieves,
In vain his strength he spends,
For heaps of useless leaves,
Afford him small amends:
He hears the Lord his will make known,
To cut the barren fig-tree down.
4 How difficult his post!
What pangs his bowels move!
To find his wishes crost,
His efforts useless prove,
His last relief is earnest pray'r,
Lord spare them yet another year.
5 Spare them and let me try,
What farther means may do;
I'll fresh manure apply,
My digging I'll renew:
Who knows, but yet they fruit may yield,
If not — 'tis just they must be fell'd.
6 If under means of grace,
No fruit of grace appear;
It is a dreadful case,
Tho' God may long forbear;
At length he'll strike the threaten'd blow
And lay the barren fig-tree low. Topics: New Year's Day Languages: English
