'Tis winter now; the fallen snow

Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 'Tis winter now; the fallen snow has left the heavens all coldly clear; through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow, and all the earth lies dead and drear. 2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn; his life within the keen air breathes; his beauty paints the crimson dawn, and clothes each branch with glittering wreaths. 3 And though abroad the sharp winds blow, and skies are chill, and frosts are keen, home closer draws her circle now, and warmer glows her light within. 4 O God, you give the winter's cold, as well as summer's joyous rays, you warmly in your love enfold, and keep us through life's wintry days. Scripture: Exodus 21:5 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Winter reigneth o'er the land

Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: The Seasons Winter Lyrics: 1 Winter reigneth o'er the land, Freezing with its icy breath; Dead and bare the tall trees stand; All is chill and drear as death. 2 Yet it seemeth but a day Since the summer flowers were here, Since they stacked the balmy hay, Since they reaped the golden ear. 3 Sunny days are past and gone: So the years go, speeding fast, Onward ever, each new one Swifter speeding than the last. 4 Life is waning; life is brief: Death, like winter, standeth nigh: Each one, like the falling leaf, Soon shall fade, and fall, and die. 5 But the sleeping earth shall wake, And the flowers shall burst in bloom, And all Nature rising break Glorious from its wintry tomb. 6 So, Lord, after slumber blest Comes a bright awakening, And our flesh in hope shall rest Of a never-fading Spring. Amen. Used With Tune: BEDWYN

The Seasons of the Year

Appears in 279 hymnals Topics: Spring and Winter; Winter and Summer; Spring and Winter; Winter and Summer First Line: With songs and honours sounding loud Lyrics: 1 With songs and honuors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the ravens cry; But man who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honours high. 4 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6 When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy Shall find his courage fail. 7 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. 8 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honours sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:13-18

Let My Spirit Always Sing

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Let my spirit always sing, though my heart be wintering, though the season of despair give no sign that you are there, God to whom my days belong, let there always be a song. 2 Though my body be confined, let your word engage my mind, let the inner eye discern how much more there is to learn, see the world becoming whole through the window of the soul. 3 Let your wisdom grace my years, choose my words and chase my fears, give me wit to welcome change, to accept, and not estrange, let my joy be full and deep in the knowledge that I keep. 4 Let my spirit always sing, to your Spirit answering, through the silence, through the pain know my hope is not in vain, like a feather on your breath trust your love, through life and death.
