Kindly Spring Again Is Here
Kindly spring again is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;
Hark! the birds with artless lays
Warble their Creator’s praise.
Where in winter all was snow,
Now the flowers in clusters grow;
And the corn, in green array,
Promises a harvest-day.
Lord, afford a spring to me,
Let me feel like what I see;
Speak, and by Thy gracious voice,
Make my drooping soul rejoice.
On Thy garden deign to smile,
Raise the plants, enrich the soil;
Soon Thy presence will restore
Life to what seemed dead before.
John Newton verses 1-3 Author of verse 4 is unknown
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Really amazing feeling…Kindly spring again is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;…
Lovely image of the blossoms. The poem is beautiful too. Take care, have a great day and a happy new week!
…spring is a fabulous time of year, enjoy it.
“Make my drooping soul rejoice…”. Yes. Amen. Have a blessed day dear Ellen.
This hymn is new to me.. What lovely words and it expresses exactly how we feel when spring comes as a gift from our Creator.
I referred to this hymn today, too! Only some of the lines are different. I wonder if he wrote more than one version or if others have adapted it over the years. But I love the imagery of God reviving us after winter, physical and spiritual.
