The Second Day of Christmas

I will open rivers on the bare heights,

    and fountains in the midst of the valleys.

I will make the wilderness a pool of water,

    and the dry land springs of water.

19 

I will put in the wilderness the cedar,

    the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive.

I will set in the desert the cypress,

    the plane and the pine together,

20 

that they may 

see and

 know,

   may consider 

and understand together,

that the hand of the Lord has done this,

    the Holy One of Israel has created it.
