The Alder By The River

Author: Celia L. Thaxter Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Refrain First Line: Who is it brings the flowers Lyrics: 1 The alder by the river Shakes out her powdery curls; The willow buds in silver For little boys and girls. The little birds fly over, And oh, how sweet they sing! To tell the happy children That once again ’tis spring. Refrain: Who is it brings the flowers, Adorning earth anew? ’Tis God! ah, happy children, He makes them all for you! 2 The verdant grass comes creeping So soft beneath their feet; The frogs begin to ripple A music clear and sweet; And buttercups are coming, And scarlet columbine; And in the sunny meadows The dandelions shine. [Refrain] 3 And just as many daisies As their soft hands can hold, The little ones may gather All fair in white and gold; Here blows the warm red clover, There peeps the violet blue! O happy, happy children, God makes them all for you! [Refrain] Used With Tune: APELDOORN

Jerusalem the Golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 926 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest— The sight of it refreshes The weary and oppressed: I know not, oh, I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare: To sing the hymn unending With all the martyr throng, Amidst the halls of Zion Resounding full with song. 2 Oh, sweet and blessed country, The home of God’s elect! Oh, sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect, Where they who with their leader Have conquered in the fight Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. Jesus in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest Where sings the host of heaven Your glorious name to bless. 3 The Christ is ever with them; The daylight is serene. The pastures of the blessed Are ever rich and green. There is the throne of David; And there from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast. To God enthroned in glory The Church’s voices blend, The Lamb forever blessed, The Light that knows no end. Topics: End Time Used With Tune: THAXTED
