I Sought the Wood in Summer

Author: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Summer Lyrics: 1 I sought the wood in summer when every twig was green; the rudest boughs were tender, and buds were pink between. Light-fingered aspens trembled in fitful sun and shade, and daffodils were golden in every starry glade. 2 “How frail a thing is Beauty,” I said, “when every breath she gives the vagrant summer but swifter woos her death. For this the star dust troubles, for this have ages rolled: to deck the wood for bridal and slay her with the cold.” 3 I sought the wood in winter when every leaf was dead; behind the wind-whipped branches the winter sun was red. The birches, white and slender, in breathless marble stood, the brook, a white immortal, slept silent in the wood. 4 “How sure a thing is Beauty,” I cried. “No bolt can slay, nor wave nor shock despoil her, nor ravishers dismay. The granite hills are slighter, the sea more like to fail, behind the rose the planet, the Law behind the veil.” Used With Tune: MERLE'S TUNE

The spring, great God, at thy command

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Summer and Harvest Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at thy command, Leads forth the smiling year; Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers To adorn her reign, appear. 2 But soon canst thou in righteous wrath Blast all the promis'd joy, And elements await thy nod To bless or to destroy. 3 The sun, thy minister of love, That from the naked ground Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth, And spreads their beauties round: 4 At the dread order of his God, Now darts destructive fires; Hills, plains, and vales, are parch'd with drought, And blooming life expires. 5 Like burnish'd brass, the heaven around In angry terror burns, While the earth lies a joyless waste, And into iron turns. 6 Pity us, Lord, in our distress, Nor with our land contend; Bid the avenging skies relent, And showers of mercy send!

Author: Henry Alfrod Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 754 hymnals Topics: Summer Lyrics: 1 Come ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home; All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the blessings of the field, All the stores the gardens yield; All the fruits in full supply, Ripened 'neath the summer sky; All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o'er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich o'erflowing stores. 3 These, to thee, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow; And for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. Come, then, thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest home. Used With Tune: ST.
