OUR GREEN CARPET
Have you ever sat on the grass and thought of its
eness a while?
r^l, if you haven’t/please sit there, and sitting
you’ll get up a smile.
You’ll smile ’cause the color wasn’t a red or a
dull horrid brown
’Cause if it were either of them the smile would
be a frown.
Then smile ’cause the Painter didn’t touch it
with silvery sheen,
But instead He colored it with a soothing lovely
green.
Imagine any color on which you could daily look,
Or that would add one-half the beauty to some
cool shady nook.
No, there’s only one great pigment that never
brings your eyes pain
And that is God’s color, that grows prettier with
every Junetime rain.
Yes, I know that He in His great and most won
derful plan
Chose wisely His color for both weary beast and
man.
So look long upon your carpet and you’ll realize
mighty good
That you can trust His painting ’cause our Artist
understood.. B8S jjjf? *
