The Little Seed Cells.

How neatly all the seeds are laid Within the ripening pod; How carefully the cells are made: This is the work of God.

The lining is not harsh or rough, But soft, or polished well; Each little seed has room enough Within its tiny cell.

How carefully the sides are closed Against the winds and rain; For if He left the seeds exposed, They would not grow again.

There's no disorder anywhere In what my Father does; He condescends to make with care The smallest flower that grows.

So children who would learn from Him, Neat habits seek to gain, Or they will waste much precious time, And do their work in vain.
