The Garb of Snow

"I watched God clothe the world last night 

With snowflake crystal clean and white;

This morning every barren tree 

Was beautiful as it could be.

The field that looked so bare and brown

This morning has a snow-white gown,

And pine trees laden full of snow

Are lovely in the sunlight's glow.

The fence post, too are painted white

With snow that fell and froze last night.

And o'er it all the sunlight gleams 

In beauty far beyond our dreams.

Such loveliness o'er all the land

Is painted by the Master's hand,

And we can only stand and gaze

With hearts o'er flowing with His praise."
