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

The earth and all therein is His

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
