As Comes The Breath Of Spring

As Comes The Breath Of Spring

With Light And Mirth And Song,

So Does Your Spirit Bring

New Days Brave, Free, And Strong.

You Come With Thrill Of Life

To Chase Hence Winter’s Breath,

To Hush To Peace The Strife

Of Sin That Ends In Death.

You Come Like Dawning Day

With Flaming Truth And Love,

To Chase All Glooms Away,

To Brace Our Wills To Prove

How Wise, How Good To Choose

The Truth And Its Brave Fight,

To Prize It, Win Or Lose,

And Live On Your Delight.

You Come Like Songs At Morn

That Fill The Earth With Joy,

Till We, In Christ, New-Born

New Strength In Praise Employ.

You Come To Rouse The Heart

From Drifting To Despair,

Through High Hopes To Impart

Life With An Ampler Air.

You Breathe And There Is Health;

You Move And There Is Power;

You Whisper, There Is Wealth

Of Love, Your Richest Dower.

Your Presence Is To Us

Like Summer In The Soul;

Your Joy Shines Forth And Then

Life Blossoms To Its Goal.
