My Bud in Heaven

Author: F. I. Darling Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: A bud the Gardener gave me Lyrics: 1. A bud the Gardener gave me, A fair and lovely child, He gave it for my keeping To cherish undefiled; It lay upon my bosom, It was my joy and pride, Perhaps it was an idol Which I must be denied. 2. For just as it was opening, In glory to the day, Down came the heavenly Gardener And took my bud away; Yet not in wrath He took it— A smile was on His face, And tenderly and kindly He bore it from its place. 3. Fear not, methought He whispered, Thy bud shall be restored; I take it but to plant it In the garden of My Lord; And bade me not to sorrow As those who hopeless weep, For He who gave hath taken And He who took can keep. 4. And night and morn together By the open gate of prayer, I’ll go unto my darling And sit beside him there; I know for me ’twill open Poor sinner though I be, For He who guards and keeps it Will keep my bud for me.

Lifting, loving, tender Savior, While Thy sacrifice we feel, From these hearts in guilt that languish Bid Thine angels break the seal. 3 Roll away the stone forever From all hearts that lie in gloom, Bid the blessèd light of Heaven Angel-like their depths illume. So shall we, redeemed and risen, In our Father’s presence kneel, Blessing Him whose white robed angels Broke for us the earthly seal.
