Praise in Springtime

Author: William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Hymnal: Singing the Journey #1005 (2005) Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder First Line: Praise to God and thanks we bring Lyrics: 1 Praise to God and thanks we bring, hearts rejoice and voices sing; praises to the Glorious One; for a year of wonder done. Praise now for the budding green, April’s Resurrection scene; Praise now for the shining hours starring all the land with flowers. 2 Praise now for the summer rain; feeding day and night with grain; praise now for the tiny seed; holding all the word shall need; Praise now for the garden root, meadow grass and orchard fruit; and for hills and valleys broad; bring we now our thanks to God. 3 Praise now for the snowy rest, falling soft on nature’s breast; for the happy dreams of birth, brooding in the quiet earth. For this year of wonder done, praise to the All glorious One; hearts rejoice and voices sing; praise and love and thanks we bring. Languages: English Tune Title: [Praise to God and thanks we bring]

O God, you draw the melody from silence, you make of us the instruments of song! We offer thanks in worship and in wonder that such a gift to human souls belong.
