The glory of the spring how sweet,

by Thomas Hornblower Gill

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 95 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

The glory of the spring how sweet, The new-born life how glad; What joy the happy earth to greet In new, bright raiment clad. Divine Redeemer, Thee I bless; I greet Thy going forth; I love Thee in the loveliness Of Thy renewed earth.

Verse 2

But O these wonders of Thy grace, These nobler works of Thine, These marvels sweeter far to trace, These new births more divine. This new-born glow of faith so strong, This bloom of love so fair, This new-born ecstasy of song And fragrancy of prayer!

Verse 3

Creator Spirit, work in me These wonders sweet of Thine; Divine Redeemer, graciously Renew this heart of mine. Still let new life and strength upspring, Still let new joy be given; And grant the glad new song to ring Through the new earth and heaven.
