Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers

Hymnal: SLT1993 #63 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 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 mold now make up for lost time. 2 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.

Oh, Give Us Pleasure in the Flowers Today

Author: Robert Frost, 1875-1963 Hymnal: SLT1993 #64 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today, and give us not to think so far away as the uncertain harvest; keep us here all simply in the springing of the year. 2 Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; and make us happy in the happy bees, the swarm dilating round the perfect trees. 3 And make us happy in the darting bird that suddenly above the bees is heard, the meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, and off a blossom in mid air stands still. 4 For this is love and nothing else is love, the which it is reserved for God above to sanctify to what far ends he will, but which it only needs that we fulfill.

Oh, how our cup o'erbrims with good these happy summer days; for all the joys of field and wood we lift our song of praise.

Heap High the Farmer's Wintry Hoard

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: SLT1993 #70 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Lyrics: 1 Heap high the farmer’s wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has autumn poured from out the lavish horn! 2 Through vales of grass and meads of flowers our plows their furrows made, while on the hills the sun and showers of changeful April played. 3 We dropped the long, bright days of June beneath the sun of May, and frightened from our sprouting grain the robber crows away. 4 All through the long, bright days of June its leaves grew green and fair, and waved in hot mid-summer’s noon its soft and yellow hair. 5 And now, with autumn’s moonlit eyes, its harvest time has come, we pluck away the frosted leaves and bear the treasure home.
