In the Northern Harmony Shape Note book there's one called Garden Well actually there are two Gardens, and they are both lovely, but I'm thinking of God from his cloudy cistern pours On the parched earth refreshing showers God of the garden and the field God of the garden and the field a thousand joyful blessings yeilds. Also Wendell Barry text, set by Malcolm Dalglish (No spelling ain't my strength) Oh thou, far off and near, whole and broken Who in necessity and in bounty waits Who's truth is light and dark, mute though spoken By thy wide grace Show me thy narrow gate.
