On a Year of threatening Rain
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: How hast thou Lord, from year to year Lyrics: 1 How hast thou Lord, from year to year,
Our land with plenty crown'd?
And generous fruit and golden grain
Have spread their riches round.
2 But we Thy mercies have abus'd
To more abounding crimes:
What heights, what daring heights in sin
Mark and disgrace our times!
3 Equal tho' awful is the doom,
That fierce descending rain
Should into inundations swell,
And crush the rising grain!
4 How just that in the autumn’s reign,
When we had hop'd to reap,
Our fields of sorrow and despair
Should lie a hedious heap.
5 But, Lord, have mercy on our land,
Those floods of vengeance stay;
Dispel these glooms, and let the sun
Shine in unclouded day!
6 To thee alone we look for help;
None else of dew or rain
Can give the world the smallest drop,
Or smallest drop restrain. Languages: English

Winter
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Stern winter throws his icy chains Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains
Encircling nature round;
How bleak, how comfortless the plains,
Late with gay verdure crown'd!
2 The sun withdraws his vital beams,
And light, and warmth depart:
And drooping, lifeless nature seems
An emblem of my heart.
3 My heart, when mental winter reigns
In night's dark mantle clad,
Confin'd in cold inactive chains,
How desolate and sad!
4 Return, O blissful sun, and bring
The soul reviving ray;
This mental winter shall be spring,
This darkness cheerful day.
5 O happy state, divine abode,
Where spring eternal reigns;
And perfect day, the smile of God,
Fills all the heavenly plains.
6 Great source of light, thy beams display,
My drooping joys restore,
And guide me to the seats of day,
Where winter frowns no more. Languages: English

On a Year of threatening Drought
Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: The spring, great God, at thy command Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at thy command
Leads forth the smiling year;
Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers
T' adorn her reign appear.
2 But soon canst thou in righteous wrath
Blast all the promis'd joy,
And elements await thy nod
To bless or to destroy.
3 The sun, thy minister of love,
That from the naked ground
Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth,
And spreads their beauties round;
4 At the dread order of his God,
Now darts destructive fires;
Hills, plains, and vales, are parch'd with drought,
And blooming life expires.
5 Like burnish'd brass, the heaven around
In angry terror burns,
While the earth lies a joyless waste,
And into iron turns.
6 Pity us, Lord, in our distress,
Nor with our land contend;
Bid the avenging skies relent,
And showers of mercy send. Languages: English
On a Year of threatening Drought
The year is swiftly waning
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #34 (1883) Topics: The Seasons Autumn Lyrics: 1 The year is swiftly waning,
The summer days are past;
And life, brief life, is speeding:
The end is nearing fast.
2 The ever-changing seasons
In silence come and go;
But Thou, Eternal Father,
No time or change canst know.
3 Oh! pour Thy grace upon us
That we may worthier be,
Each year that passes o'er us,
To dwell in Heaven with Thee.
4 Behold, the bending orchards
With bounteous fruit are crowned;
Lord, in our hearts more richly
Let heavenly fruits abound.
5 Oh! by each mercy sent us,
And by each grief and pain,
By blessings like the sunshine,
And sorrows like the rain,
6 Our barren hearts make fruitful
With every goodly grace,
That we Thy Name may hallow,
And see at last Thy Face.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMNIA

The Spring-Tide
Author: Rev. J. Monsell Hymnal: Christ in Song #428 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions The Seasons; Special Occasions The Seasons 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. Languages: English Tune Title: RAPHAEL
