169. The Glory Of The Spring

1 The glory of the spring how sweet,
The new-born life how glad;
What joy the happy earth to greet
In new, bright raiment clad.
Divine Redeemer, Thee I bless;
I greet Thy going forth:
I love Thee in the loveliness
Of Thy renewed earth.

2 But O these wonders of Thy grace,
These nobler works of Thine,
These marvels sweeter far to trace,
These new births more divine,
This new-born glow of faith so strong,
This bloom of love so far,
This new-born ecstasy of song
And fragrancy of prayer!

3 Creator Spirit, work in me
These wonders sweet of Thine,
Divine Redeemer, graciously
Renew this heart of mine.
Still let new life and strength upspring,
Still let new joy be given;
And grant the glad new song to ring
Tho' the new earth and heav'n.
