Planted by God’s right hand,
Where living waters flow,
Like stately trees, believers stand,
In comely orders grow.
Their fruits know no decay,
Their leaf shall never fade;
The lord’s their keeper night and day,
And foes shall ne’er invade.
Their proper growth attained,
He will these plants remove,
To Canaan’s rich and fertile land,
And genial climes above.
