Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers

Spring has now unwrapped the flowers,

Day is fast reviving,

Life in all her growing powers

Towards the light is striving:

Gone the iron touch of cold,

Winter time and frost time,

Seedlings, working through the mould,

Now make up for lost time.

Herb and plant that winter long,

Slumbered at their leisure,

Now bestirring, green and strong,

Find in growth their pleasure:

All the world with beauty fills,

Gold the green enhancing;

Flowers make glee among the hills,

Set the meadows dancing.

Through each wonder of fair days

God Himself expresses;

Beauty follows all His ways,

As the world He blesses:

So, as He renews the earth,

Artist without rival,

In His grace of glad new birth

We must seek revival.
