Spring

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #D (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Behold! long-wish'd for spring is come Lyrics: 1 Behold! long-wish'd-for spring is come, How alter'd is the scene! The trees and shrubs are dress'd in bloom, The earth array'd in green. 2 Where'er we tread, the clustering flowers Beauteous around us spring; The birds, with joint harmonious powers, Invite our hearts to sing. 3 But ah! in vain I strive to join, Opprest with sin and doubt; I feel 'tis winter still within, Tho' all is spring without. 4 O! would my Savior from on high, Break thro' these clouds and shine No creature then more blest than I, No song more loud than mine. 5 Lord, let thy word my hopes revive, And overcome my foes; O make my languid graces thrive And blossom like the rose.

On a Year of threatening Rain

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: How hast thou Lord, from year to year Lyrics: 1 How hast thou Lord, from year to year, Our land with plenty crown'd? And generous fruit and golden grain Have spread their riches round. 2 But we Thy mercies have abus'd To more abounding crimes: What heights, what daring heights in sin Mark and disgrace our times! 3 Equal tho' awful is the doom, That fierce descending rain Should into inundations swell, And crush the rising grain! 4 How just that in the autumn’s reign, When we had hop'd to reap, Our fields of sorrow and despair Should lie a hedious heap. 5 But, Lord, have mercy on our land, Those floods of vengeance stay; Dispel these glooms, and let the sun Shine in unclouded day! 6 To thee alone we look for help; None else of dew or rain Can give the world the smallest drop, Or smallest drop restrain.

Winter

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Stern winter throws his icy chains 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 frowns no more.
