O-o-o and A-a-h-some





The glory of Creation’s law
Through countless ages thrills
New generations stand in awe
At what ‘let there be spills



Across the dross of winter-spent
The song of spring extols
God’s faithfulness; time’s testament
Of hope rekindles souls


On hollow and hillside He drapes
A lush and lavish sheen
As majesty of mercy shapes
Grand-scapes of fresh-spun green


Nothing escapes His gaze
How kind this Sovereign Keeper is
How beyond man, His ways


His way instills each bud with blooms
It ordains seeds to hold
A harvest-song within the looms
The weave earth’s green and gold


The glory of the Lord above
Lavishes lands beneath
Benevolence imbues its love
Infusing dormant heath


Across the wake of winter lies
Spring’s promised promenade
The spectator worships with eyes
Glad for all God has made
