16. The watering of the hills not only produces the grass and the
cultivated herbs, but also the nobler species of vegetation, which comes not
within the range of human culture. The trees of the Lord—the greatest, noblest, and most royal of trees;
those too which are unowned of mankind, and untouched by our hand. Are full of sap, or are full, well supplied, richly watered, so that they become, as
the cedars, full of resin, flowing with life, and verdant all the year round. The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted. They grow where none ever thought
of planting them, where for ages they were unobserved, and where at this moment
they are too gigantic for man to prune them. Planted by grace, and owing all to
our Heavenly Father’s care, we may defy the hurricane, and laugh at the
drought, for none that trust in him shall be left unwatered.
