Kindly spring again is here,
trees and fields in bloom appear;
hark! the birds with artless lays
Sing their Great Creator's praise.
Where in winter all was snow,
now the flowers in clusters grow;
and the corn, in green array,
promises a harvest-day.
Lord, vouchsafe a spring to me,
Let me be like that I see;
speak, and by thy gracious voice,
make my drooping soul rejoice.
Give to me the breath of life,
Joy for mourning, peace for strife ;
Soon Thy presence will restore
Life to what seemed dead before.
