Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #392 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: There cometh o'er the spirit Lyrics: There cometh o’er the spirit, With each returning year, The thought that Thou, the Father, Art ever to us near; With hope of life dispelling The death that winter brought; And flowers and fruits foretelling, With fragrant beauty fraught. ’Tis this which calls Thy children In sweet accord to raise, Beneath thy blue-domed temple, One general hymn of praise To Thee, the ever-living, The universal King, Who never ceasest giving Each good and perfect thing. The streamlet from the mountain,— It speaketh, Lord, of Thee, As from its snow-capped fountain It rushes to the sea; The gentle dew descending, And cloud’s refreshing shower,— O God, our Heavenly Father, All, all, proclaim Thy power.
