Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers
Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #63 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Spring Lyrics: 1 Spring has now unwrapped the flowers,
day is fast reviving,
life in all her growing powers
towards the light is striving.
Gone the iron touch of cold,
winter time and frost time,
seedlings working through the mold
now make up for lost time.
2 Herb and plant that, winter long,
slumbered at their leisure,
now bestirring green and strong,
find in growth their pleasure.
All the world with beauty fills,
gold the green enhancing;
flowers make glee among the hills,
set the meadows dancing.

All is bright and cheerful round us
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #32 (1883) Topics: The Seasons Spring Lyrics: 1 All is bright and cheerful round us,
All above is soft and blue;
Spring at last hath come and found us,
Spring and all its pleasures too;
Every flower is full of gladness;
Dew is bright and birds are gay;
Earth, with all its sin and sadness,
Seems a happy place today.
2 If the flowers, that fade so quickly,
If a day, that ends in night,
If the sky, that clouds so thickly
Often cover from our sight,--
If they all have so much beauty,
What must be God's Land of Rest,
Where His sons, that do their duty,
After many toils are blest?
3 There are leaves that never wither,
There are flowers that ne'er decay;
Nothing evil goeth thither,
Nothing good is kept away.
They that came from tribulation,
Washed their robes and made them white.
Out of every tongue and nation,
They have rest, and peace, and light.

Lo, the Earth Awakes Again
Good is the Lord, the heav'nly King
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P65e (1766) Topics: Spring of the Year Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord, the heav'nly King,
Who makes the Earth his Care;
Visits the Pastures ev'ry Spring,
And bids the Grass appear.
2 The Clouds, like Rivers rais'd on high,
Pour out at thy Command
Their watry Blessings from the Sky,
To chear the thirsty Land.
3 The soften'd Ridges of the Field
Permit the Corn to spring;
The Vallies rich Provision yield,
And the poor Lab'rers sing.
4 The little Hills, on ev'ry Side,
Rejoice at falling Show'rs;
The Meadows, dresse'd in all their Pride,
Perfume the Air with Flow'rs.
5 The barren Clods, refresh'd with Rain,
Promise a joyful Crop;
The parching Grounds look green again,
And raise the Reaper's Hope.
6 The various Months thy Goodness crowns;
How bount'ous are thy Ways?
The bleating Flocks spread o'er the Downs,
And Shepherds shout thy Praise.

Sad heart and sing;

See the full eye of day
Smile through the tomb.

God of eternal power;
The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.
2 Thy morning light and evening shade,
Successive comforts bring;
Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flowers adorn the spring.
3 Seasons and times, and moon, and hours,
Heaven, earth and air are thine;
When clouds, distil in fruitful showers,
The Author is divine:
4 Those wandering cisterns in the sky
Borne by the winds around,
With watery treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.
5 The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English
