Storm and Sunshine

Representative Text

1 This is the way the snow comes down,
Softly, softly falling;
So He giveth His snow like wool,
Fair, and white, and beautiful;
This is the way the snow comes down,
Softly, softly falling.

2 This is the way the rain comes down,
Swiftly, swiftly falling;
So He sendeth His welcome rain,
O'er the hill and over the plain;
This is the way the rain comes down,
Swiftly, swiftly falling.
