I Sought the Wood in Summer
Author: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #328 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 I sought the wood in summer
when every twig was green;
the rudest boughs were tender,
and buds were pink between.
Light-fingered aspens trembled
in fitful sun and shade,
and daffodils were golden
in every starry glade.
2 “How frail a thing is Beauty,”
I said, “when every breath
she gives the vagrant summer
but swifter woos her death.
For this the star dust troubles,
for this have ages rolled:
to deck the wood for bridal
and slay her with the cold.”
3 I sought the wood in winter
when every leaf was dead;
behind the wind-whipped branches
the winter sun was red.
The birches, white and slender,
in breathless marble stood,
the brook, a white immortal,
slept silent in the wood.
4 “How sure a thing is Beauty,”
I cried. “No bolt can slay,
nor wave nor shock despoil her,
nor ravishers dismay.
The granite hills are slighter,
the sea more like to fail,
behind the rose the planet,
the Law behind the veil.” Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Time is winging us away
Author: J. Burton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #909 (1873) Topics: Life a Winter's Day Lyrics: 1 Time is winging us away
To our eternal home:
Life is but a winter's day--
A journey to the tomb:
Youth and vigor soon will flee,
Blooming beauty lose its charms:
All that's mortal soon shall be
Enclosed in death's cold arms.
2 Time is winging us away
To our eternal home:
Life is but a winter's day--
A journey to the tomb;
But the Christian shall enjoy
Health and beauty soon above,
Where no worldly griefs annoy,
Secure in Jesus' love. Scripture: Isaiah 64:6
Time is winging us away

The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand.

The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us are sent
From heaven above.
We thank you, Lord, we thank you, Lord,
for all your love.
2 You only are the Maker
Of all things near and far.
You paint the wayside flower,
You light the evening star.
The winds and waves obey you,
By you the birds are fed;
Much more to us, your children,
You give our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, then, Creator,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all your love imparts,
And what you most would welcome,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
Author: Theodore Baker Hymnal: Worship in Song #69 (1996) Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem has sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half-spent was the night.
2 Isaiah did foretell it,
The Rose I have in mind.
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
She bore to us a Savior,
When half-spent was the night.
Scripture: Isaiah 11:1-2 Tune Title: EST IST EIN ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN

sing and praise your God and mine!

grass upon the mountain pastures,
golden valleys thick with grain.

peace and plenty crown your days;
love his laws, declare his judgments,
walk in all his words and ways;
he the Lord and we his children--
praise the Lord, all people, praise! Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English Tune Title: RHUDDLAN

Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: Worship in Song #114 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Winter Lyrics: 1 Lo, the earth is risen again
From the winter's bond and pain!
Bring we leaf and flower and spray
To adorn our holiday.

Lo, he maketh all things new.
Now the dark cold days are over,
Light and gladness are before.
3 How our hearts leap with the spring!
How our spirits soar and sing!
Light is victor over gloom,
Life triumphant o'er the tomb.
4 Change, then, mourning into praise,
And, for dirges, anthems raise!
All our fears and griefs shall be
Lost in immortality. Languages: English Tune Title: MONKLAND
