Buds and Blossoms of the Spring
Buds and blossoms of the spring,
Bloom to praise the heav’nly King;
Let the joyful news be spread,
Christ is risen from the dead.
Refrain
Ever living, loving Friend,
Now to Thee our songs ascend;
Make us pure in heart, that we
May the heav’nly vision see.
Empty now the Savior’s tomb,
Light is shining through the gloom;
He is living evermore
On the bright eternal shore.
Refrain
Teach us Savior, day by day,
Walking with us by the way;
May our hearts within us burn,
While still more of Thee we learn.
Refrain

“Ever living loving friend” is my favorite line. There’s another that made me grin.
…a new hymn for me, thanks.
Pretty blooms and sweet lyrics.
A beautiful header photo and images of blossom, Ellen. This hymn is uplifting and one that’s new to me. Thank you.
So beautiful in every way!
What a beautiful hymn, speaking of our Saviour’s resurrection. Thank you for sharing it, Ellen. Your picture fit it perfectly!
We don’t have those yet. But all the more keeping our hope high for God’s blessings come spring. Thanks for a beautiful photo and hymn, Ellen.
SUCH a beautiful hymn! I don’t think I’ve known of it before today. It’s so perfect for this season. Thanks for sharing it with us!
