38t Winter

Tune: Daniel Read, 1785

Words: Cole’s Pocket Edition, 1834

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.

He sends His word, and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
