Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #432 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Tis winter now; the fallen snow
has left the heavens all coldly clear;
Through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow,
and all the earth lies dead and drear.
2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn;
new life within the keen air breathes;
God's beauty paints the crimson dawn,
and clothes the boughs with glittering wreaths.
3 And though abroad the sharp winds blow,
and skies are chill, and frosts are keen,
Home closer draws its circle now,
and warmer glows the light within.
4 O God! who gives the winter's cold,
as well as summer's joyous rays,
Us warmly in your love enfold,
and keep us through life's wintry days. Topics: Comfort and Assurance; God Providence and Goodness of; Seasons Changing Languages: English Tune Title: DANBY
