LyicsWHEN the beauteous spring is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;
And the birds, with cheerful lays,
Warble their Creator's praise.
Lord, afford a spring to me!
Let me draw bright joys from thee;
Ah, my winter has been long;
Chill'd my hopes, suppress'd my song.
How the soul in sadness mourns,
Till its glorious Sun returns,
Till the Spirit's gentle rain
Bids the heart revive again.
Haste, O blessed Saviour, haste:
Tell me all the storms are past,
Speak, and by thy gracious voice
Make my drooping soul rejoice.
