Text: | The Glory of the Spring |
Author: | T. H. Gill |
Tune: | SERAPH |
Composer: | Gottfried W. Fink |
1 The glory of the spring how sweet,
The newborn life how glad;
What joy the happy earth to greet
In new, bright raiment clad.
Divine Renewer, Thee I bless;
I greet Thy going forth:
I love Thee in the loveliness
Of Thy renewed earth.
2. But O these wonders of Thy grace,
These nobler works of Thine,
These marvels sweeter far to trace,
These new births more divine,
This newborn glow of faith so strong,
This bloom of love so fair,
This newborn ecstasy of song
And fragrancy of prayer!
3 Creator, Spirit, work in me
These wonders sweet of Thine,
Divine Renewer, graciously
Renew this heart of mine.
Still let new life and strength up-spring,
Still let new joy be given;
And grant the glad new song to ring
Thro' the new earth and heav'n.
