The Glory Of The Spring How Sweet

The glory of the spring how sweet! The new-born life how glad! What joy the happy earth to greet In new, bright raiment clad!

Divine Redeemer, Thee I bless; I greet Thy going forth; I love Thee in the loveliness Of Thy renewd earth.

But O these wonders of Thy grace, These nobler works of Thine, These marvels sweeter far to trace, These new births more divine:

This new-born glow of faith so strong, This bloom of love so fair, This new-born ecstasy of song, And fragrancy of prayer!

Creator Spirit, work in me These wonders sweet of Thine; Divine Redeemer, graciously Renew this heart of mine.

Still let new life and strength upspring, Still let new joy be given; And grant the glad new song to ring Through the new earth and Heaven.
