Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming

Author: Theodore Baker Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming From tender stem has sprung! Of Jesse's lineage coming As men of old have sung. It came, a floweret bright, Amid the cold of winter, When half-spent was the night. 2 Isaiah did foretell it, The Rose I have in mind. With Mary we behold it, The virgin mother kind. To show God's love aright She bore to us a Savior, When half-spent was the night. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-2 Used With Tune: EST IST EIN ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN Text Sources: 15th century German

Stern winter throws his icy chains

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains; Encircling nature round; How bleak, how comfortless the plains, Late with gay verdure crown'd! 2 The sun withdraws his vital beams, And light and warmth depart; And drooping, lifeless nature seems An emblem of my heart. 3 My heart, when mental winter reigns, In night's dark mantle clad; Confin'd in cold, inactive chains, How desolate and sad! 4 Return, O blissful sun, and bring The soul-reviving ray; This mental winter shall be spring, This darkness cheerful day. 5 O happy state, divine abode, Where spring eternal reigns; And perfect day, the smile of God, Fills all the heavenly plains. 6 Great source of light, thy beams display, My drooping joys restore: And guide me to the seats of day, Where winter chills no more. Scripture: Job 38:29

Bonney, 1910- Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 986 hymnals Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh, shadows of the evening steal across the sky. 2 Now the leafless landscape settles in repose, waiting for the quiet of the winter snows. 3 Now as twilight gathers let us pause and hear all the slowing pulse-beats of the waning year. 4 May the season's rhythms, slow and strong and deep, soothe the mind and spirit, lulling us to sleep. 5 Sleep until the rising of another spring keeps the ancient promise fall and winter bring.

Summer and Winter

Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Spring and Winter; Winter and Summer; Spring and Winter; Winter and Summer First Line: Let Zion praise the mighty God Lyrics: 1 Let Zion praise thy mighty God, And make his honours known abroad; For sweet the joy, our songs to raise, And glorious is the work of praise. 2 Our children live secure and blest; Our shores have peace, our cities rest; He feeds our sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. 3 The changing seasons he ordains, The early and the latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends. 4 With hoary frost he strews the ground: His hail descends with dreadful sound: The icy bands the rivers hold, And terror arms his wintry cold. 5 He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call his people to his praise. 6 Thro' all our realm his laws are shown; His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus reveal'd his word To every land: praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147
