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 renewer, 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 renewer, 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.
