15811. Where'er the Blustering North Wind Blows

1 Where’er the blustering north wind blows,
And spreads its frosts or fleecy snows;
Where’er the sun with quickening ray,
Shines all abroad and gives the day—

2 Where’er the lesser orbs of light
Dart forth their beams and gild the night,
There may His heralds loud proclaim,
The Savior’s love, the Savior’s name.

3 In work so pleasing, so benign,
Let all the saints in concert join;
A name so great, a love so strong,
In every world demands a song.
