As Comes The Breath Of Spring

Author: David Lakie Ritchie Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Praise and Invocation Lyrics: 1 As comes the breath of spring with light and mirth and song, so does your Spirit bring new days brave, free, and strong. You come with thrill of life to chase hence winter's breath, to hush to peace the strife of sin that ends in death. 2 You come like dawning day with flaming truth and love, to chase all glooms away, to brace our wills to prove how wise, how good to choose the truth and its brave fight, to prize it, win or lose, and live on your delight. 3 You come like songs at morn that fill the earth with joy, till we, in Christ, newborn, new strength in praise employ. You come to rouse the heart from drifting to despair, through high hopes to impart life with an ampler air. 4 You breathe and there is health; you move and there is power; you whisper, there is wealth of love, your richest dower. Your presence is to us like summer in the soul; your joy shines forth and then life blossoms to its goal. Used With Tune: DENBY
