Kindly spring again is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;
Hark! The birds with artless lays
Warble their creature'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, afford a spring to me,
Let me feel like what I see;
Speak, and by Thy gracious voice,
Make my drooping soul rejoice.
On Thy garden deign to smile,
Raise the plants, enrich the soil;
Soon Thy presence will restore
Life to what seemed dead before.
by John Newton 1725-1807
Note: Praise The Almighty and Merciful Lord of Lords and King of Kings for the springtime, both in nature and that experienced in our human souls!!!
