Snow and rain have vanished

Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Snow and rain have vanished, Winds have ceased to wail, Winter now is banished, Bright are hill and vale, Gentle Mother, hear us At thy altar pray; Queen of Virgins, bless us On this sweet May-day. Gentle Mother, hear us At thy altar pray, Queen of Virgins, bless us On this sweet May-day. 2 Spring hath come with flowers Spring hath come with light, Soft and rosy hours now Fill the day and night, Stars above us gleaming, Tell of Mary's worth; Blossoms round us teeming, Speak her praise to earth. Stars above us gleaming, Tell of Mary's worth; Blossoms round us teeming, Speak her praise to earth. 3 Here below deserving, She was found alone, God, from sin preserving, Chose her for His own. Grace, as to none other, Grace to her was given; She became the Mother Of the King of Heaven. 4 God bestowed upon her, Glories all her own: Earth's sublimest honor, Heaven's queenly throne. Taught by Him, we love her, In our simple way, Placing none above her On this sweet May-day. Used With Tune: [Snow and rain have vanished]
