We thank You, GOD, for beauty

That comes with each new spring:

The greening hills and valleys,

The songbirds on the wing,

The meadow flowers waking

And waltzing in the breeze,

Bright sunbeams gaily dancing

Upon the new-leafed trees.

~*~*~

The Jonquils in their bonnets

With trim of beaded dew,

The tulip cups unfolding

In shades of brilliant hue,

The pink-white apple blossoms

Against the soft blue sky,

The fluffy clouds and sunshine,

The mountains towering high,

~*~*~

The rainbow-tinted colors

Aglow across the land -

For such a wealth of splendor

Created by Your hand.

In gratitude, our Father,

We lift our hearts in praise,

Rejoicing in Your blessings

Throughout the springtime days.
