243. His Glory Crowns the Year

1 Glad hosannas upward rise,
Swelling thro’ the radiant skies—
For the Lord of Hosts is here,
And His glory crowns the year.
Spring her beauty has displayed;
In her verdant robes arrayed,
All the earth is fair and gay,
Praising God the live-long day.

Refrain:
Glad hosannas upward rise,
Swelling through the radiant skies—
For the Lord of Hosts is here,
And His glory crowns the year.

2 Led in pastures green are we,
Daily mercies spared to see,
Clothed and fed with loving hand,
At our Father’s blest command;
So our praise is meet and just,
And we sing because we must—
Sing thro’ love that knows not fear,
For His glory crowns the year. [Refrain]

3 O how mighty is His love,
Circling all the skies above!
O how wondrous is His grace,
Filling ev’ry secret place!
Times and seasons, praise and song,
All to Him alone belong;
Let our worship be sincere,
For His glory crowns the year. [Refrain]
