Dorothy Gurney

Let me read it for you and see if you know it, if you have come across any verses in it before.

It was written by the daughter of Church of England clergyman Dorothy Frances Gurney in the 19th century.

The Lord planted a garden in the first white days of the world.

And he set there an angel warden in a garment of light enfold.

The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth.

For he broke it for us in a garden under the olive trees, where the angel of strength was the warden and the soul of the world found ease.

Dorothy Frances Gurney, when she penned those words, obviously was mindful when she wrote, the Lord planted a garden in the first white days of the world.

Verses like Genesis chapter 2 and verse 8.
