EN 4393 The Winter’s Sleep Was Long and Deep

John.14.9

Versi Version 1

1

The winter’s sleep was long and deep,

But earth is awakened and gay;

For the life ne’er dies that from God doth rise,

And the green comes after the grey.

2

So God doth bring the world to spring;

And on this holy day

Doth the Church proclaim her Apostles’ fame,

To welcome the first of May.

3

Two saints of God went by the road

That leadeth on to light;

And they gave up all at their Master’s call,

To work in their Master’s sight.

4

Would Philip’s mind the Father find?

Lo, he hath found the Way;

For to know the Son is to know the One

Whom the earth and the heavens obey.

5

And James, ’twas thine by grace divine

To preach the Christian life,

Where our faith is shown by our works alone,

And love overcometh strife.

6

Lord, grant that we may brethren be—

As Christians live in deed;

For it is but so we can learn to know

The truth that to Thee doth lead.
