Author: Rev. J. Monsell Hymnal: Christ in Song #428 (1908) First Line: The spring-tide hour brings leaf and flow'r Lyrics: 1 The spring-tide hour brings leaf and flow'r,
With songs of life and love,
And many a lay to cheer the day
In many a leafy grove.
2 Dews fall apace, the dews of grace,
On souls made sad by sin;
And love divine delights to shine
Upon the waste within.
3 As year by year the flow'rs appear,
And birds their praises sing,
Why not, my heart, bear well thy part,
In nature's joyous spring?
4 Lord, let thy love, fresh from above,
Soft as the south wind blow,
Till my heart bloom in sweet perfume,
And fragrant spices flow. Topics: Special Occasions The Seasons; Special Occasions The Seasons; Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: RAPHAEL
