Spring

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #D (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year; Spring First Line: Behold! long-wish'd for spring is come Lyrics: 1 Behold! long-wish'd-for spring is come, How alter'd is the scene! The trees and shrubs are dress'd in bloom, The earth array'd in green. 2 Where'er we tread, the clustering flowers Beauteous around us spring; The birds, with joint harmonious powers, Invite our hearts to sing. 3 But ah! in vain I strive to join, Opprest with sin and doubt; I feel 'tis winter still within, Tho' all is spring without. 4 O! would my Savior from on high, Break thro' these clouds and shine No creature then more blest than I, No song more loud than mine. 5 Lord, let thy word my hopes revive, And overcome my foes; O make my languid graces thrive And blossom like the rose.

How warm the solar beams! And to refresh the ground, the rains Descend in gentle streams. 3 Great God, at thy command Seasons in order rise: Thy power in love and concert reign Thro' earth and seas and skies: 4 With grateful praise we own Thy providential hand, While grass for kine, and herb and corn For men, enrich the land: 5 But greater still the gift Of thine incarnate son; By him forgiveness, peace and joy Thro' endless ages run.

On the spring

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXCVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year; Spring First Line: The icy chains that bound the earth Lyrics: 1 The icy chains that bound the earth Are now dissolv'd wnad gone: Wak'd by the sun the blooming spring Puts his new livery on. 2 Where awful desolation reign'd Bless'd plenty rears her head; Exulting with a smile to see Her late destroyer fled. 3 Teeming with life, th' advancing sun Protracts the falling day; Grand light of heaven! he seems to wish To make a longer stay. 4 In clouds of gold behold him set, Beyond the west he flies; Short is his nightly course, and soon He gildes the eastern skies. 5 My soul, in every scene admire The wisdom and the power: Behold the God in every plant, In every opening flower. 6 Yet his word, the God of grace, Has wrote his fairer name: The wonders of redeeming love My noblest songs shall claim. 7 With warmest beams, thou God of grace Shine on this heart of mine; Turn thou my winter into spring, And be the glory thine.

Thy children are secure and blest; Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest; He feeds thy sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. Thy changing seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends. With hoary frost he strews the ground; His hail descends with clatt'ring sound: Where is the man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful cold? He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call the Britons to his praise. To all the isle his laws are shown, His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus revealed his word To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

Great is our Lord, and great his might; And all his glories infinite: He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust. Sing to the Lord, exalt him high, Who spreads his clouds all round the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry. What is the creature's skill or force, The sprightly man, the warlike horse, The nimble wit, the active limb? All are too mean delights for him. But saints are lovely in his sight, He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English

He sends his showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the raven's cry; But man, who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honors high. His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. His hoary frost, his fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the rattling hail, The wretch that dares this God defy Shall find his courage fail. He sends his word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:7-9 Languages: English
