Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #452 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Refrain First Line: Come, children, join the chorus Lyrics: 1. Behold the lovely springtime!
We hail its rosy hours,
We welcome back the sunshine
And cool, refreshing showers;
There’s beauty all around us,
And music everywhere;
O praise our great Creator
Who makes the earth so fair.
Refrain
Come, children, join the chorus,
Ring out in joyful strain
A song of love to God above;
The Spring has come again.
2. Our youth is like the springtime,
Our hearts are like the flowers;
Our smiles like playful sunbeams
That cheer its passing hours;
And may our deeds of kindness,
As one by one they fall,
Be like the gentle raindrops
Our Father sends to all. [Refrain]
3. Each tender bud and blossom,
From out its dewy leaves,
Gives back to God who made it
The sweet perfume it breathes;
Then let us give to Jesus
Our youthful hearts today,
And in life’s happy springtime,
Begin the heavenly way. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: NOAH
