Almond Trees, Renewed in Bloom
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 7.5.7.5 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Spring Lyrics: 1 Almond trees, renewed in bloom,
do they not proclaim
life returning year by year,
love that will remain?
Almond blossom, sign of life
in the face of pain,
raises hope in people’s hearts:
spring has come again.
2 War destroys a thousandfold,
hatred scars the earth,
but the day when almonds bloom
is a time of birth.
Friends, give thanks for almond blooms
swaying in the wind:
token that the gift of life
triumphs in the end. Used With Tune: CON X'OM LANG

all lavender and blue,
its cloud-strewn, light-swept day skies flow,
and every day renew.
To east the glow of dawning,
to west the blaze of night,
‘round all the long horizon’s rim,
the everlasting light!
2 This land of open vistas,
life rooted deep and free,
thy canyoned plains, thy mountains vast,
plumb earth’s immensity.
Here in life’s fragile balance,
the sun and stars above,
find hand in hand, and heart to heart,
the everlasting love. Used With Tune: ANDUJAR

and let the face of God shine through. Used With Tune: RICKER

1 Those who have died have never, never left
The dead are not under the earth
They are in the rustling trees
They are in the groaning woods
They are in the crying grass,
They are in the moaning rocks
The dead are not under the earth [Refrain]
2 Those who have did have never, never left.
The dead have a pact with the living.
They are in the woman’s breast,
They are in the wailing child
They are with us in our homes.
They are with us in this crowd
The dead have a pact with the living. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Those who have died have never left] Text Sources: Adapted from a poem by Birago Diop
