Author: David Lakie Ritchie, 1865-1951 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #396 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Hymnal Title: The Book of Praise Lyrics: 1 As comes the breath of spring,
with light and mirth and song,
so does your Spirit bring
new days brave, free and strong.
You come with thrill of life
to chase hence winter's breath,
to hush to peace the strife
of sin that ends in death.
2 You come like dawning day,
with flaming truth and love,
to chase all glooms away,
to brace our wills to prove
how wise, how good to choose
the truth and its brave fight;
to prize it, win or lose,
and live on God's delight.
3 You come like songs at morn
that fill the earth with joy,
till we in Christ newborn
new strength in praise employ.
You come to rouse the heart
from drifting to despair,
through high hope to impart
life with an ampler air.
4 You breathe, and there is health;
you move, and there is power;
you whisper, there is wealth
of love, your richest dower.
Your presence is to us
like summer in the soul;
your joy shines forth, and then
life blossoms to its goal. Topics: God the Holy Spirit; Healing / Health; Hope; Joy; Love; Truth Languages: English Tune Title: DENBY

Samuel Sebastian Wesley
1810 - 1876 Person Name: Samuel S. Wesley (1810-1876) Hymnal Title: The Church School Hymnal for Youth Composer of "HAWARDEN" in The Church School Hymnal for Youth Samuel Sebastian Wesley (b. London, England, 1810; d. Gloucester, England, 1876) was an English organist and composer. The grandson of Charles Wesley, he was born in London, and sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal as a boy. He learned composition and organ from his father, Samuel, completed a doctorate in music at Oxford, and composed for piano, organ, and choir. He was organist at Hereford Cathedral (1832-1835), Exeter Cathedral (1835-1842), Leeds Parish Church (1842-1849), Winchester Cathedral (1849-1865), and Gloucester Cathedral (1865-1876). Wesley strove to improve the standards of church music and the status of church musicians; his observations and plans for reform were published as A Few Words on Cathedral Music and the Music System of the Church (1849). He was the musical editor of Charles Kemble's A Selection of Psalms and Hymns (1864) and of the Wellburn Appendix of Original Hymns and Tunes (1875) but is best known as the compiler of The European Psalmist (1872), in which some 130 of the 733 hymn tunes were written by him.
