All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances W. Wile Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #434 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Seasons Changing; Seasons The New Year Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; the hand that shaped the rose has formed the crystal of the snow, Has sent the silver frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness on hill and wood and field. 2 O’er brilliant fields of sparkling snow the radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night burn brightly through the cold. Life mounts in every throbbing vein, love deepens 'round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will and peace on earth." 3 O you from whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows, yourself the splendid vision seen in crystal and in rose, The passing days with grace declare, and passing nights proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, the wonder of your name.
