Sweet Brother Weed 188
Lyrics: Terry Culleton
Tune: Don Jamison, 1998
Meter: C.M. (8,6,8,6)
Sweet brother weed, whom none must judge,
Teach us to feel God's grace,
As you feel the wind, whose lightest nudge
Lifts you to dance in place.
Sweet sister leaf, crimson tract,
Upon the soul's surrender
Reveal death as a falling fact
At once brilliant and tender.
Old moon and stars, engraved upon
The panels of the night,
Light up this world which God has drawn
From His deep felt delight.
Small brooks and fens, smooth rocks and crags,
Mild river, riffling ford,
Teach us at last to dance in rags
When dancing with the Lord.
