Summer and Winter

Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Winter and Summer; 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

Summer, or all flesh like grass

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Summer First Line: The grass and flow'rs, which clothe the field Lyrics: 1 The grass and flow'rs, which clothe the field, And look so green and gay; Touch'd by the scythe, defenceless yield, And fall, and fade away. 2 Fit emblem of our mortal state! Thus in the scripture glass, The young, the strong, the wise, the great, May see themselves but grass. 3 Ah! trust not to your fleeting breath, Nor call your time your own; Around you see the scythe of death Is mowing thousands down. 4 And you, who hitherto are spar'd, Must shortly yield your lives; Your wisdom is to be prepar'd, Before the stroke arrives. 5 The grass, when dead, revives no more: You die to live again; Beware lest death should prove the door To everlasting pain. 6 Lord, help us to obey thy call, And all our sins remove, That when like grass our bodies fall, Our souls may rise above. Scripture: Isaiah 40:6-8

The Seasons of the Year

Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Winter and Summer; Winter and Summer First Line: With songs and honours sounding loud Lyrics: 1 With songs and honuors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heavens he spreads his cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2 He sends his showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3 He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the ravens cry; But man who tastes his finest wheat, Should raise his honours high. 4 His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6 When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the sounding hail, The wretch that dares his God defy Shall find his courage fail. 7 He sends his word and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 8 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey his mighty word: With songs and honours sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 147:13-18

A Prayer-hearing God, and the Gentiles called

Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Summer; Summer First Line: Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee Lyrics: 1 Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee; There shall our vows be paid; Thou hast an ear when sinners pray, All flesh shall seek thine aid. 2 Lord, our iniquities prevail, But pardoning grace is thine, And thou will grant us power and skill To conquer every sin. 3 Blest are the men whom thou wilt chuse, To bring them near thy face, Give them a dwelling in thy house, To feast upon thy grace. 4 In answering what thy church requests, Thy truth and terror shine, And works of dreadful righteousness, Fulfil thy kind design. 5 Thus shall the wondering nations see The Lord is good and just; And distant islands fly to thee, And make thy name their trust. 6 They dread thy glittering tokens, Lord, When signs in heaven appear; But they shall learn thy holy word, And love as well as fear. Scripture: Psalm 65
