This Is the Way the Wind Doth Blow

Author: G. R. A. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the way the wind doth blow, Doth blow, doth blow! O, this is the way the wind doth blow, To do God's will. It flows the ships across the sea, It turns the mill-wheel, strong and free, It is God's helper true, you see, To do His will. Yes, This is the way the wind doth blow, Doth blow, doth blow! O, this is the way the wind doth blow, To do God's will. 2 This is the way the sun doth shine Doth shine, doth shine! O this is the way the sun doth shine, To do God's will. It gives us warmth and gives us light, It makes the flowers bloom so bright, It works from morning until night, To do God's will. Yes, This is the way the sun doth shine Doth shine, doth shine! O this is the way the sun doth shine, To do God's will. 3 This is the way the rain comes down, Comes down, comes down! O, this is the way the rain comes down, To do God's will. It falls upon the thirsty flow'rs, It cools the air with welcome show'rs, It works away through many hours, To do God's will. Yes, This is the way the rain comes down, Comes down, comes down! O, this is the way the rain comes down, To do God's will. Topics: God in Nature Used With Tune: [This is the way the wind doth blow] Text Sources: Songs for Children
