Winter

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: Stern winter throws his icy chains Lyrics: 1 Stern winter throws his icy chains Encircling nature round; How bleak, how comfortless the plains, Late with gay verdure crown'd! 2 The sun withdraws his vital beams, And light, and warmth depart: And drooping, lifeless nature seems An emblem of my heart. 3 My heart, when mental winter reigns In night's dark mantle clad, Confin'd in cold inactive chains, How desolate and sad! 4 Return, O blissful sun, and bring The soul reviving ray; This mental winter shall be spring, This darkness cheerful day. 5 O happy state, divine abode, Where spring eternal reigns; And perfect day, the smile of God, Fills all the heavenly plains. 6 Great source of light, thy beams display, My drooping joys restore, And guide me to the seats of day, Where winter frowns no more.

On the spring

Author: Needham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CDXCVIII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: The icy chains that bound the earth Lyrics: 1 The icy chains that bound the earth Are now dissolv'd wnad gone: Wak'd by the sun the blooming spring Puts his new livery on. 2 Where awful desolation reign'd Bless'd plenty rears her head; Exulting with a smile to see Her late destroyer fled. 3 Teeming with life, th' advancing sun Protracts the falling day; Grand light of heaven! he seems to wish To make a longer stay. 4 In clouds of gold behold him set, Beyond the west he flies; Short is his nightly course, and soon He gildes the eastern skies. 5 My soul, in every scene admire The wisdom and the power: Behold the God in every plant, In every opening flower. 6 Yet his word, the God of grace, Has wrote his fairer name: The wonders of redeeming love My noblest songs shall claim. 7 With warmest beams, thou God of grace Shine on this heart of mine; Turn thou my winter into spring, And be the glory thine.

On a Year of threatening Drought

Author: Dr. Gibbons Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Times and Seasons The Seasons of the Year First Line: The spring, great God, at thy command Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at thy command Leads forth the smiling year; Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers T' 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.

The year is swiftly waning

Hymnal: Voices of Praise #34 (1883) Topics: The Seasons Autumn Lyrics: 1 The year is swiftly waning, The summer days are past; And life, brief life, is speeding: The end is nearing fast. 2 The ever-changing seasons In silence come and go; But Thou, Eternal Father, No time or change canst know. 3 Oh! pour Thy grace upon us That we may worthier be, Each year that passes o'er us, To dwell in Heaven with Thee. 4 Behold, the bending orchards With bounteous fruit are crowned; Lord, in our hearts more richly Let heavenly fruits abound. 5 Oh! by each mercy sent us, And by each grief and pain, By blessings like the sunshine, And sorrows like the rain, 6 Our barren hearts make fruitful With every goodly grace, That we Thy Name may hallow, And see at last Thy Face. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AUTUMNIA

Great the Lord in love and wisdom, might and majesty divine! He who framed the starry heavens knows and names them as they shine. 2 Praise the Lord, His people, praise Him! Wounded souls His comfort know; those who fear Him find His mercies, peace for pain and joy for woe; humble hearts are high exalted, human pride and power laid low. 3 Praise the Lord for times and seasons, cloud and sunshine, wind and rain; spring to melt the snows of winter till the waters flow again; grass upon the mountain pastures, golden valleys thick with grain. 4 Fill your hearts with joy and gladness, peace and plenty crown your days; love His laws, declare His judgements, walk in all His words and ways; He the Lord and we His children: praise the Lord, all people, praise!
