Now is the Cool of the Day
by Jean Ritchie; arr. kith&kin
My Lord, He said unto me:
Do you like my garden so fair?
You may live in this garden if you keep the grasses green,
And I'll return in the cool of the day.
Now is the cool of the day.
Now is the cool of the day.
Oh, the earth is a garden, the garden of my Lord,
And He walks in his garden in the cool of the day.
My Lord, He said unto me:
Do you like my pastures so green?
You may live in this garden if you will feed My lambs,
And I'll return in the cool of the day.
Now is the cool of the day...
My Lord, He said unto me:
Do you like my garden so pure?
You may live in this garden if you keep the waters clean,
And I'll return in the cool of the day.
Now is the cool of the day...
My Lord, He said unto me:
Do you like my garden so free?
You may live in this garden if you keep the people free,
And I'll return in the cool of the day.
Now is the cool of the day...
