Spring Anthem

A warm wind rushes through my hair

For spring, for love is in the air

Creator's boon after winter's night

As all the world is hope and light

The cherry trees are now in bloom

And hyacinths will blossom soon

The dead brown grass begins to mend

As winter's drought comes to an end.

For spring has come

The birds all sing

Over all creation

Smiles the King

And joy from sorrow

Leaps from ground

Our souls are praising

He hears the sound

In winter's depths I've wandered long

But now to wake with a faith-filled song

For ice-cold heart melts in the sun

With a King's great gift a soul was won.

So come the snow in season and time

I'll yet hold fast to this Christ of mine

For after winter death is past

New life in spring has come at last.
