[Verse 1]
O God
Educate these children
Little hands
Bright eyes that shine
Teach our hearts to love Your kindness
Make our footsteps walk in line
[Chorus]
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Drinking the rain from above
Roses that turn to Thy sunlight
Growing in patience and love
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Keep us in wisdom and care
Blooming in friendship together
Held in the warmth of Thy prayer
[Verse 2]
O God
Guide every daughter
Every son beneath Your sky
Let our thoughts be clear and gentle
Lift our voices pure and high
[Chorus]
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Drinking the rain from above
Roses that turn to Thy sunlight
Growing in patience and love
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Keep us in wisdom and care
Blooming in friendship together
Held in the warmth of Thy prayer
[Bridge]
Boys and girls
One family
Every face a precious sign
Side by side in every garden
Learning to be kind
[Chorus]
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Drinking the rain from above
Roses that turn to Thy sunlight
Growing in patience and love
We are the plants of Thine orchard
Keep us in wisdom and care
Blooming in friendship together
Held in the warmth of Thy prayer
