The shelter of a great tree

The shelter of a great tree
The love that satisfies need
Nurturing little old me
What blessing I have of thee

The great eternal one
The maker of sky and Sun
Existing before world was begun
Father Holy Spirit and Son

How great the maker of the sky
How wondrous the designer of the eye
How swiftly do angels fly
To be by my side

Does it make you look away
Would you please turn this way
Were you gracious in passion and play
And did you win the day

Does the night hold fear
Is there a danger near
Is anyone else here
Will this fog ever clear

The free have eternity in which to please
Oh to be free and have peace
I desire to be warmed by the fire of which I endlessly seek
In all manner and speech I seek Thee
