Our Lupines (a.k.a. blueberries) have finally started to bloom! Although most of them are still yet to be, there was enough blue and white beauty for me :)
The glory of the spring how sweet!
The new-born life how glad!
What joy the happy earth to greet,
In bright, new raiment clad!
Divine Renewer, Thee I bless;
I greet thy going forth;
I love Thee in the lovliness
Of Thy renewed earth.
But O these wonders of Thy grace,
These nobler works of Thine,
These marvels sweeter far to trace,
These new births more divine:
This new-born glow of faith so strong,
This bloom of love so fair,
This new-born ecxtasy of song,
And fragrancy of prayer!
Creator Spirit, work in me
These wonders sweet of Thine;
Divine Renewer, graciously
Renew this heart of mine.
Still let new life and strength upspring,
Still let new joy be given;
And grant the glad new song to ring
Through the new earth and heaven.
The Glory of the Spring How Sweet!
-Thomas Hornblower Gill
