were fashioned sea and sky and earth;
who made the stormy chaos cease
and gave us life and light and peace:
we cry, O Spirit strong and free,
for those in peril on the sea.

through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow,
and all the earth lies dead and drear.

his life within the keen air breathes;
his beauty paints the crimson dawn,
and clothes each branch with glittering wreaths.

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
