Helichrysum angustifolium

Latin Botanical name

What strengthens so the Christian heart?
What makes his mind as firm as steel?
‘Thus longing that “Better part”
Which each within himself doth feel.

’Tis many good works nobly done,
’Tis many a hard fought battle won,
“Tis ending well, what’s well begun,
Tis ever striving for the right,

Tis walking spotless in God’s sight’
Abided by celestial light.
This gives an arendt thirst to drink
At the Eternal Fountains brink,

Where Living Waters ever well,
Where blooms the Heavenly Immortelle.
