Eden bids me

Eden bids me sing a song,
and with her true tune harmonize,
to let our reveling reveal
the one who always sanctifies.

Eden bids me to a dance
of love that's pure, that ever yearns
to occupy its rightful place
and with the Father's glory burns.

Eden bids me lead my heart
lest I should covet aught but grace.
Do not distract, or faithfulness
with empty vanity replace.

Eden bids me wonder at
the beauty that within her lies,
yet never take my vision from
the one revealed in each surprise.

Eden bids me not forget
that ev'ry gift of heart is meant
to help us walk upon the way,
and that each blessing's heaven-sent

Eden bids me not to set
my heart on what's not mine to hold;
forsake the fruit that would corrupt;
embrace only the purest gold.

Eden bids me cherish all
her gifts in their appointed way
that we may revel, in the end,
without the burden of dismay

Eden bids me walk along
the paths of wonder that life brings,
and let the object of our song
forever be the king of kings.
