Acts 14:17

• [Act 14:17] Behold The Lovely Springtime

  Behold the lovely springtime! We hail its rosy hours, We welcome back the sunshine And cool, refreshing showers; There’s beauty all around us, And music everywhere; O praise our great Creator Who makes the earth so fair. Refrain Come, children, join the chorus, Ring out in joyful strain A song of love to God above; The Spring has come again. Our youth is like the springtime, Our hearts are like the flowers; Our smiles like playful sunbeams That cheer its passing hours; And may our deeds of kindness, As one by one they fall, Be like the gentle raindrops Our Father sends to all. Refrain Each tender bud and blossom, From out its dewy leaves, Gives back to God who made it The sweet perfume it breathes; Then let us give to Jesus Our youthful hearts today, And in life’s happy springtime, Begin the heavenly way.

• [Act 14:17] Song Of Spring Once More We Sing, A

  A song of spring once more we sing As winter flies away, And changeful hours bring sun and showers To weave a crown for May; With heart and voice we all rejoice, On this returning day. For once again the promise-strain Floats down from days of yore, That fruits of earth shall wake to birth, To bless the toiler’s store; Each annual round with bounties crowned, Till time shall be no more. Thee, Lord, we praise for springtide days, And life’s yet fairer spring; These golden hours, these opening powers, We in glad service bring, Thine own to be, from sin set free, Our Father, Savior, King.

Acts 16:34

• [Act 16:34] O Happy Home

  O happy home, where Thou art loved the dearest, Thou loving Friend and Savior of our race, And where among the guests there never cometh One who can hold such high and honored place! O happy home, where two in heart united In holy faith and blessèd hope are one, Whom death a little while alone divideth, And cannot end the union here begun! O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of Heaven Guides them, and guards with more than mother’s care! O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten, Where joy is overflowing, full and free, O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee— Until at last, when earth’s day’s work is ended, All meet Thee in the blessèd home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thy everlasting home of peace and love!
