What prospects bright appear! 2 Earth and her thousand voices give Their thousand notes of praise; And all that by His mercy live, To God their offering raise. 3 Thus, like the morning, calm and clear, That saw the Saviour rise, The spring of heaven's eternal year Shall dawn on earth and skies. 4 No winter there, no shades of night, Obscure those mansion blest, Where, in the happy fields of light, The weary are at rest.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Spring and summer; Spring of the year Lyrics: God is a Spirit, just and wise, He sees our inmost mind; In vain to beav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there. Scripture: John 4:24

Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Spring of the Year; Spring of the Year First Line: Good is the Lord, the heavenly King Lyrics: 1 Good is the Lord, the heavenly King, Who makes the earth his care; Visits the pastures every spring, And bids the grass appear. 2 The clouds, like rivers rais'd on high, Pour out at his command, Their watry blessings from the sky, To cheer the thirsty land. 3 The soften'd ridges of the field Permit the corn to spring: The vallies rich provision yield, And the poor laborers sing. 4 The little hills on every side Rejoice at falling showers, The meadows dress'd in buteous pride Perfume the air with flowers. 5 The barren clouds refresh'd with rain Promise a joyful crop; The parched grounds look green again, And raise the reper's hope. 6 The various months thy goodness crowns How bounteous are thy ways! The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs, And shepherds shout thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 65

Go Forth, My Heart, And Seek Delight

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Spring Lyrics: 1 Go forth, my heart, and seek delight, While summer reigns so fair and bright, View God's abundance daily, The bounty of these gardens see, Behold how they for me and thee Have decked themselves so gaily. 2 The trees with spreading leaves are blessed, The earth her barren soil has dressed In green so young and tender. Narcissus and the tulip fair Are cloth'd in raiment far more rare Than Solomon in splendor. 3 Fast grows the wheat, like waving gold, And gives delight to young and old; They praise with glad thanksgiving Him who through mercy measureless Vouchsafed the soul of man to bless With goods that grace his living. 4 Thy splendor, Lord, doth shine so bright And fills us with such pure delight While here on earth abiding; What, then, may be in store for me And all who heaven's glory see, In golden halls residing? 5 Oh, choose me for Thy Paradise, While yet I dwell beneath the skies, But let me flourish ever. With Thee alone will I abide, Thine honor serve, and none beside, Till soul and body sever.
