"LO, i AM WITH YOU ALWAYS."

Wide fields of corn along the valleys spread;
The rain and dew mature the swelling vine.
I see the Lord in multiplying bread;
I see Him turning water into wine.
I see Him working all the works divine,
He wrought when Salem ward His steps were led.
The selfsame miracles around Him shine;

He feeds the famished, He revives the dead.
He pours the flood of light on darkened eyes;
He chases tears, diseases, fiends away.
His throne is raised upon the orient skies;
Ah, tell me not of Christ in Paradise,
For He is all around us here today.
