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 re­new­èd 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.
