My Master hath a garden
Language: English
My Master hath a garden Full-filled with diverse flowers, Where thou may'st gather posies gay All times and hours. Where nought is heard but paradise bird, Harp, dulcimer and lute, With cymbal and timbrel, And the gentle sounding flute. O Jesus, Lord, my heal and weal, My bliss complete, Make thou my heart thy garden plot, True, fair and neat, That I may hear this music clear, Harp, dulcimer and lute, With cymbal and timbrel, And the gentle sounding flute.
