129. Make Me like the Palm

1 Planted in Thy house, O Lord,
‘Mid the trees of righteousness,
Watered by Thy sacred Word,
Beautiful with precious grace,
Ransom'd child of Thine I am;
Make me flourish like the palm;
Ransom'd child of Thine I am;
Make me flourish like the palm.

2 Let my wings of faith be spread,
Bear me to the mercy-seat;
Blend my spirit with its Head,
Make me thus in Christ complete;
So my heart, pure, firm and calm,
Lives to flourish like the palm;
So my heart, pure, firm and calm,
Lives to flourish like the palm.

3 Let my leaves be green and fair,
Clustering fruits in me abound;
All my deeds Thy love declare,
All my hopes in Thee be found;
Life shall be a joyous psalm,
Graceful, useful, like the palm;
Life shall be a joyous psalm,
Graceful, useful, like the palm.

4 When full age at last has come,
When beyond the Jordan-tide,
Garnered to my heavenly home,
Let me with the glorified
Sing the triumphs of the Lamb,
Bear a conqueror’s fadeless palm;
Sing the triumphs of the Lamb,
Bear a conqueror’s fadeless palm.
