Spring Has Now Unwrapped the Flowers
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A joyful springtime hymn rooted in the medieval Latin carol 'Tempus adest floridum' from Piae Cantiones (1582), translated by English Poet Laureate Robert Bridges in 1899. It celebrates God's creative beauty expressed through the renewal of spring.
Verse 1
Spring has now unwrapped the flowers,
Day is fast reviving,
Life in all her growing powers
Towards the light is striving:
Gone the iron touch of cold,
Winter time and frost time,
Seedlings, working through the mould,
Now make up for lost time.
Verse 2
Herb and plant that winter long,
Slumbered at their leisurek,
Now be stirring, green and strong,
Find in growth their pleasure:
All the world with beauty fills,
Gold the green enhacing;
Flowers make glee among the hills,
Set the meadows dancing.
Verse 3
Through each wonder of fair days
God Himself expresses;
Beauty follows all His ways,
As the world He blesses:
So, as He renews the earth,
Artist without rival,
In His grace of glad new birth
We must seek revival.
