The Master Preacher

He talked of grass, and wind, and rain,

Of fig trees, and fair weather;

And He made it His delight to bring

Heaven and earth together.

He spoke of lilies, vines, and corn,

The sparrow and the raven;

And words so natural, yet so wise,

Were on men's hearts engraven.

Of yeast with bread, and flax, and cloth,

Of eggs, and fish, and candles.

See how the whole familiar world

He most divinely handles
