13738. Songs Of Praise Are Swelling

1 Faces bright, with delight,
Greet the smiling morn;
Voices raise, songs of praise,
Winter’s hour is gone.
Silver shower, bring the flowers,
Full of fragrance rare,
Now is heard, song of bird,
Thro’ the summer air.

Refrain:
Singing, singing, God the Father reigns;
Praise Him, praise Him, for His loving care;
Ringing, ringing, o’er the grassy plain,
Songs are swelling everywhere.

2 Nature tells, all is well,
God the Father reigns;
Dark or light, fair or bright,
Constant He remains;
And His love, from above,
Round us e’er shall rest;
Trust in Him, only Him,
He knows what is best. [Refrain]

3 Summer flowers, in their bowers,
Trust in God alone;
So may we, joyous, free,
Seek His royal throne.
There to pray, every day,
For the faith that lives;
For we know, as we go,
Such He freely gives. [Refrain]
